between a cold air humidifier and a warm air humidifier, which one is supposed to work on congestion better?

My 2yr old daughter has a the high seas cough and congestion. I went to buy a humidifier and all i could find were cold air humidifiers. I recall humidifiers having warm air. Besides the obvious, temperature, whats the characteristic? Is one better than the other?


It depends on what you are treating.

If you are imperfect to help thin the secretions, a warm humidifier is better. It increases the corresponding to humidity in the air better than a cool mist. The warm air is skilful to hold more water molecules thereby adding greater saturate content into the air.

When using warm humidification, cleaniness becomes an climax. Warm moist areas are breeding grounds for bacteria, so bury the hatchet e construct sure you follow the cleaning instructions.

If the young man is suffering from inflammation, than a cool mist may be more advisedly. It won't humidify as well but it may help soothe irritated tissues to some condition. .

Realize that neither option will work as well as the humidifiers in the sanatorium. Those are designed to be used in close contact with the stripling's face so more humidity is able to reach the airways.

Another way out for adding warm humidity, is to place the child with you in a sweaty bathroom. Run a steaming hot shower and stand in the bathroom with you adolescent. Do this a few times a day.

As always, check with your child's doctor. There are also generally speaking nurse advice lines that you can call to get advice as well. Enquire about with your local pediatric hospital.

run hoary vinegar thru it a couple of times, then plain soften a couple of times. No Bleach.

Should I use a cold air humidifier or a warm air humidifier at night?

I am 16 weeks eloquent and suffering from major congestion at night. Does anyone have knowledge of if I should use a warm air, or a cold air humidifier in my room at night? I guess I don't actually know what the difference is. Any suggestions?


Purposeful air is a vaporizer. warm air is a humidifier. You would probably want cool - the humidity in the accommodation could make your congestion worse.

Why is a cool mist humidifier better for croup than a warm mist humidifier?

My kids have bronchitis and croup and the dr. recommended we use one. I was barely curious why a warm mist humidifier wouldn't trade.


croup is a viral inflamatory procedure. the cool air and humidity reduces the swelling and eliminates the stridor/ cough.

warm becloud humidifiers also grow bacteria....

Is there a difference between a warm mist vaporizer and a warm mist humidifier?

I due bought a vaporizer. Can you use it without the recommended inhalent medication? Would that fabricate it just like a warm mist humidifier? I am looking to serve clear my daughter's congestion from her sinus infection during her bedtime.


Humidifiers and vaporizers add moisture to the air, making it less drying to your gateway, throat, and nose. A humidifier produces a cool over, and a vaporizer puts out hot steam.

Cool film from a humidifier may be more comfortable to breathe than hot steam. However, humidifiers are blaring, produce particles that may be irritating to some people, and deprivation to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. This is especially impressive for people who have mold allergies.

A vaporizer's hot steam does not suppress any irritating particles, and you can add medications such as Vicks VapoRub to guide breathing. Steam may feel good when you have a unready far, but the hot water can burn anyone who overturns or gets too close-knit to the vaporizer.

You probably should use a hot steam vaporizer.
