on vacation and damaged pari sidestream mask

[meteoras69]

My son has just turned three and uses a pari sidestream nebulizer cub set to take his hypersal. He uses a small size child mask, which we accidentally warped to the point we can't use it. Of course, we are on vacation when this happened. Any ideas about how we can get a replacement within a day or two? Of course I'll call our clinic tomorrow, but they sometimes take a long time to get back with us....any advice?

Dependent on where you're on vacation, there may be a medical supply store that would carry masks, or a local hospital that would give/sell you one if your doctor called. There are also medical supply stores online that sell it and will rush ship it. Just some ideas to try.

We had a similar incident a few mornings ago -- actually we misplaced the bubbles fish mask. I'm sure you've already found a replacement, but your chils is old enough to be able to use the mouthpiece as long as you supervise. Otherwise, you could use blow-by. Wastes a lot of med, but it's not like it's pulmozyme or tobi, which wouldn't do a lot of good if you blew it in their face with just the tube.

I'm pretty sure that walgreens advertised that they have asthma supplies behind the counter (nebs, masks, optichambers)....you might try there if there is one close.
