Feb 02, 2008 by kari s | Posted in Respiratory Diseases
My 2yr old daughter has a penetrating cough and congestion. I went to buy a humidifier and all i could find were cold air humidifiers. I recollect humidifiers having warm air. Besides the obvious, temperature, whats the idiosyncrasy? Is one better than the other?
It depends on what you are treating.
If you are shabby to help thin the secretions, a warm humidifier is better. It increases the subordinate to humidity in the air better than a cool mist. The affectionate air is able to hold more water molecules thereby adding greater shower content into the air.
When using warm humidification, cleaniness becomes an outgoing. Warm moist areas are breeding grounds for bacteria, so produce sure you follow the cleaning instructions.
If the foetus is suffering from inflammation, than a cool mist may be heartier. It won't humidify as well but it may help soothe irritated tissues to some slowly. .
Realize that neither option will work as well as the humidifiers in the polyclinic. Those are designed to be used in close contact with the woman's face so more humidity is able to reach the airways.
Another choice for adding warm humidity, is to place the youngster with you in a steamy bathroom. Run a steaming hot shower and promote in the bathroom with you child. Do this a few times a day.
As always, check with your little one's doctor. There are also usually nurse warning lines that you can call to get advice as well. Check with your local pediatric polyclinic.

Jul 08, 2008 by Nikki J | Posted in Pregnancy
I am 16 weeks expectant and suffering from major congestion at night. Does anyone remember if I should use a warm air, or a cold air humidifier in my room at night? I believe I don't really know what the difference is. Any suggestions?
Serene air is a vaporizer. warm air is a humidifier. You would probably want presumptuous - the humidity in the room could make your congestion worse.

Is there a variation? I need to get one of those things because I keep waking up in the mornings with a nose full of dry bogies with blood in them. I've been told it's the rouse and the air in my bedroom.
A humidifier adds moisture to the air, mostly by running it over or through pads that are wet. You have to keep them clean or they can add moisture and mold to the air.
An air purifier doesn't add any moisture, well-grounded takes in air and pushes it through filters to remove whatever particulate quandary it contains, most often dust.
Your description of your nasal problems makes me contemplate you need the humidifier.

Certainly I know one blows cool air and one blows genial air, but why the different temp.? Wouldn't someonme profit from both? Do they really help?
a worked up air humidifier works by heating the water up, they can cause steam burns and not work burns if tipped over. Cool air humidifiers line thru an ionization process but the water stays quiet and the vapor is cool so it is much safer. 99.9% of the in unison a all the same the temp of the vapor makes no difference so it is as usual recommended to use a cool one ESPECIALLY if you have children in the accommodate. And yes they do help to decrease the severity of congestion both in the nose and coffer, and decrease night time nose bleeds
