Cool mist humidifier or vaporizer? which is better for a 4 month old with a cough/allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either: Humidity is moisture in the air. It doesn't matter how it gets there. The main differences in the cool mist vs steam is the noise and the cost. Be sure to claen either machine at least weekly, to prevent mold build up.
