A. severe cases of breathing disorders are treated in the modern times is with the use of a Huf Puf Kit. This is a kit that consists of a device with a mouthpiece and an area to put in the medicine. The kit helps children inhale the medicines that are supposed to reach the depths of the lungs by way of breathing. Do not take without specialist suggestion.

A. A huf puf kit is a small kit that is used for kids to give them inhalers. When a baby is suffering from severe cough or breathing issues or any other problem related to their chest then many a times doctors prescribe inhalers. As kids can not take it directly and they should not, so for this purpose huf puf kit is introduced. It comes in a small box. This box keep it safe after every use. Inhalers are attached at its end and then pushed. Then it directly goes into kids mouth and nose. It helps relieving cough. No there is no alternative of this kit. Kids can't take inhalers directly. So if your doctor has prescribed it, you have to use it. Another option is to not to go for inhalers but only a doctor can decide this. You need not to worry much about this as these days, this is no big deal. Ya but once you start them you have to continue using it for long, every time your child has cough. Doctors do consider it safe.
