I use a traditional style nebulizer, with a separate compressor… I’m able to sterilize the mouthpiece, but the mask I used wasn’t temperature resistant … maybe I have to find something different… do you sterilize also the tube to deliver the air?

The tube should never be sterilized but run the compressor a few minutes after removing the mouthpiece if there is moisture in it . Replace when you Replace the neb every 3-4 months.
As for using a mask-that is not the usual way-the meds get to your lungs more efficiently with a mouthpiece.
You would need to ask a medical supplier about a mask that tolerates sterilization.
