A nebulizer turns liquid medicine, usually albuterol, into a fine mist you breathe through a mask or mouthpiece to open tight airways. Urgentology Care gives nebulizer treatments in Arlington and Colleyville for asthma flares, bronchitis and allergy wheezing, for adults and children 12 months and older.
Asthma flares don't wait for office hours. Both clinics are open seven days a week, Arlington until 8pm on weeknights.
Our Arlington and Colleyville clinics evaluate wheezing and breathing symptoms to determine whether a nebulizer treatment, other medication or additional medical care is appropriate.
An inhaler delivers a measured dose of medication in a quick puff. It is portable and convenient for prescribed rescue or maintenance treatment. A spacer can help with proper medication delivery.
A nebulizer delivers medication as a steady mist through a mask or mouthpiece, typically over 10–15 minutes. It can be useful for young children or patients who have difficulty using an inhaler correctly.

A nebulizer treatment usually takes 10–15 minutes. At Urgentology Care in Arlington and Colleyville, a provider rechecks your breathing afterward and decides whether you need a second round or any other medicine.
Yes. Nebulizers work well for young children because they breathe the medicine through a mask. Urgentology Care gives breathing treatments to children 12 months and older at both of our clinics.
Often, yes. If you've run out of your rescue inhaler, Urgentology Care can check your breathing and send a refill to your pharmacy, then recommend follow-up with your regular doctor.
Wheezing is an emergency if you can't speak in full sentences, your lips or face turn blue, or breathing keeps getting harder. Call 911. Urgentology Care provides urgent care only.

“Heard about this place through a friend and decided to give it a try even though I live 25 min away. It was a great choice because the nurses and doctor were very attentive and cared to listen to everything I had to say.”
