Dr orders Nebulizer, insurance pays for it, do you really need it? If not dump it. You may not want to send back until you are certain you don't need it. I used it before I went to bed and during day, but not at night. Even my humidifier is too nosy these days. Hope you get some good sleep without meds.
Take care,
Eileen
