Asmtha, Humidifier or de-humidifier?

Question

Ok, so the reason I'm posting this under parenting is I need to know what kind to put in my daughters room. She's 9 months old and has mild asmtha. Which one is good for asmtha? Her room is a little dry, nothing too bad though. I did buy a humidifier for her room already, but I'm not sure I should use it. I know dampness can be bad for asmtha, but I think if her room is dry it will also affect her asmtha for the worst.

Any advice?

Answer 1

i always had a humidifyer in my room it was always better than dry air, also it helps to put a cover on ones bed so dustmites cannot get through, dust mites are serious to asthma attacks

Answer 2

Hi, I have ashma. The more humid the room, the more heavier I breath. Normally, I always need fresh air. So Every morning, I always open my bedroom window widely. Do you know if humidifier could be dangerous for the lung? If you want to use it, make sure the machine boil the water before it releases it in the air. If you don't regularly change the water, it will releases bacterias in the air & can cause lung infection. Good thing, take your daughter for a walk in freh air. She will feel better. Open her room window every morning, when she's not in the room! If she suffers, rub her back with special oil for baby that can release her heavy breath!

My DD is 10 months & has allergies/asthma. We use a warm mist humidifier. Everyone says to use a cool mist....but when we did, she got a really sore/scratchy throat. The warm mist has been SO great for her!!

Answer 4

it is going to take out the surplus moisture. i've got no longer observed that it has replaced using my AC, yet my dehumidifier is in the basement, which isn't air conditioned. It basically makes the air extra soft whilst this is not so moisture-crammed. We use that water on our plant life, and this is almost a bucket an afternoon.

Okay it with her doctor first. You want a humidifier.
