I'm wondering how much it usually costs for nebulization at a hospital for my baby. We need to do it twice a day for a whole week, and I'm not sure what to expect price-wise. Can you give me an idea?
Nebulization typically costs between 200 to 500 per session in hospitals, depending on the facility and location. If your baby requires it twice a day for a week, you might be looking at a total of 2800 to 7000 for the week, though prices can vary. I would suggest confirming with your hospital for more precise rates.
