Sue, Is using a mask as efficient as the nebulizer mouth piece?

I don't believe the mask is as effective as the mouthpiece because some of the saline goes into the nose and sinuses. BUT a mask is better than not nebbing.

As with everything health care related, "something is better than nothing" - so if a mask is what works and you keep nebbing, that's better than skipping the neb because your jaw is too sore.
