So lo has been having some congestion, not a runny nose but I can hear the snot in there when she breathes sometimes. I have been doing saline spray and the bulb but my mom told me to get a humidifier. So I bought one but didn't do much research.(woops) I got a Vicks warm mist one. I didn't know there was a cold mist one also. My question is... What type of humidifier (warm or cold mist) should I be using for this type of congestion? Will a humidifier even work?? I thought a humidifier added moisture to the air and she seems to have enough moisture since she has a snotty nose.
Our Dr. told us not to use a humidifier in the summer because the air is already so humid.

Funny story we were registering at BRU and they had it on sale and there was also a coupon for it and my DH wanted it so bad. For himself. So it's really more for DH, lol.
Someone told me not to use a warm mist one because of mold, but I have no idea if that's a legitimate concern. We have a Vicks cool mist one and really like if. We've used it off and on this summer, but I'm sure we will use it more as it gets cooler.
Well since I have it I might as well try it. Started up the warm mist humidifier hopefully her snotty ness clears up cause she straight up hates the saline and bulb!
