Humidifiers and Vaporizers

Young children commonly get about 6 to 8 colds and upper respiratory tract infections each year. Increasing the air moisture is a common way to help your child feel better when he is congested. In general, a cool mist vaporizer or humidifier is preferred over a warm mist one because of the risk of your child getting accidentally burned.
