Air Humidifier

U C my 2month old baby sounds very congested at nights.. which would help more?

My 10 week old has a little cough and some congestion. The pediatrician is not worried, but I would like to provide some relief to my child. I would like to add some eucalyptus oil to our Vicks Warm Air humidifier. Our model has a liquid medicine chamber just for this purpose. How many drops of oil should I add per night and do I need to mix the drops with another substance like olive oil? Are there other essential oils that are beneficial to babies to encourage relaxation during sleep?

I recently got a Cool Mist Air Humidifier, maybe less than2 weeks ago,and my room has usually been at 65/66/67 for personal preference (I sleep really well if it is cold and my lizards don’t mind it and I don’t myself) but the Cool Mist is bringing my room down in temperature a lot. Currently my room is 61 degrees and it is 24 degrees outside – Winter. What do you suggest I do? It does help me breathe when sleeping. Thanks!

I have a small retail humidifier and use it in our babies’ room. During the winter we need the humidity. Now the air is more moist, we don’t need the humidity but we do need the white noise. Is it safe to run it without water?

In the hot summers, people use dehumidifiers to remove moisture and cool down your home.
So on average during the winter we keep our thermostat at 20°C
Will using a humidifier to release moisture into the air warm a room?
Scratch the last line!
Will using a humidifier to release moisture into the air make a room feel warmer?

i have terrible allergies and i am always sick. i was thinking about getting an air purifier or a humidifier but im not sure which would be best for me. i have a lot of major electronics in my room and im not sure if the humidifier would interfere with them. also, if i get an air purifier i would like it to be one that you clean the filter because i cant afford to keep buying replacements. does it sacrifice quality to get one with a re-usable filter??

which one would you recommend?
have any other suggestions on what else i could do??

My son has asthma and is very sensitive to dry air from the furnance. Someone told me that I can add a furnace humidifier. But there is not enough room near to furnace to do that. I am wondering whether there is any furnace or portable heater which comes with humidifier built in it. A separate humidifier doesn’t seem to help my son so far.

Thanks

I am trying to set up my nursery, which will be a small bedroom. There is not a lot of room to have it all. Which product is the most needed, dehumidifier, humidifier or mister, or an air purifier?

I drive semi for a living and it tends to get very dry inside the truck. I’m planning on purchasing a humidifier for the truck soon, but I started wondering today if too much dry air can also cause a person to get sick, or at least help contribute to it. I know that it makes my eyes feel discomfort and my lungs feel raspy, but can the dry air actually be a contributing factor to your health? Thanks in advance!

I’m a poor college student and can’t afford a humidifier, but I’m tired of waking up with dry sinuses, a really sore throat, and sometimes a bloody nose.

Alternative ways to get some moisture in the air?

I just bought a cool air humidifier and i’m wondering if it’s ok to leave it on all night and need some info about it >: over long term is there anything I should watch out for? So far I know that I should clean it daily and watch out for germs/bacteria since they thrive on humid areas, and as for the place I set it on >.> its a small table and it got wet, so I put a towel under it lol. Can anyone give me the info that im looking for? Thank You (and I got it because i’m sick x_x allergies turned into maybe a cold)

I run my humidifier all winter long, and I have noticed I have a ridiculous amount of dust! Could using tap water in my humidifier cause dust?

Should I use distilled water to prevent this?

I do not have central air, live in an apartment, and keep doors and windows closed.

I’m in a small dorm room and looking for a cool mist humidifier because the air is super dry here and the windows don’t open. How often do humidifier’s filters need to be replaced?

Just installed an Flow Though AIR KING 6000 Humidifier with an electronic display. The display keeps flashing the original factory settings. When I adjust the temp it resets and continures flashing. If I adjust it past the relitive humidity point, it turns the relay on for a split second and resets and continues flashing. Can’t seem to get this thing working.

The air is really dry in my house any suggestions on how humidify it without a humidifier?

The air is really dry in my dorm room because I constantly have hot air coming from the vent (I’m always cold). However, this is making my skin and throat unbearably dry. I want to increase the humidity of the air in my room, but I don’t have a humidifier? What can I do?

I swear I go through humidifiers like crazy! All the ones I get just seem to kind of spray a mist into the air in the area of the humidifier but the overall moisture in the room never gets better. The past 3 that Ive had (and they werent cheep!) i put right next to my bed….. it misted water into the air and soaked my nightstand and side of my bed…and even though it was less than a foot away from my head, I still find myself waking up stuffy and dry.

Sometimes I boil a pot of water on the stove and the steam seems to really help the air in my kitchen/dining room….but I obviously cant keep a pot of boiling water on the stove all night (and its not realistic for adding moisture to the bedrooms..)..

What brand humidifier can you reccomend for me? I dont have a tun of money to spend but I’m willing to pay for something that works really well.
Not looking for an air purifyer or filter..just something to add moister into the room.
I do have a honeywell air filter that I love.

Or must I close the windows ? I love fresh air and I live beside a forest with wonderful air, the only problem is that its vey moist here.

I have a warm air humidifier, and i put a little vicks vaporub on the top, where there’s like a little space to put stuff. Is this okay to do? will it help my runny nose and cough?

…square feet?
I believe in the description it states the humidifier will cover a 860 square foot room. What if the room you have it in is smaller than 860 square feett – will you get the benefit from it in another room?

im worried about my baby she coughs alot i taken her to tha doc already they said that shes may have a virus cause i was sick and now she is coughing???and she cries??she also has respitory problems she has inhalers????

Differences? Reasons? I just want to ensure that my baby is breathing in the cleanest air possible, but with enough humidity in the room. Which will best suit my baby’s needs? Excuse me, I’m currently nesting and going crazy to ensure that everything will super, super, super clean. Even the air, lol.

i want to get one for the winter months to help my skin from drying out but will the mist/condensation affect of damage anything like my tv or pc as it is a small from with a lot of stuff in it
