Humidifiers: These devices tend to humidify the air. Can be useful in the winter when the air is dry and pt has cold symptoms, this can help moisten the secretions and make pt feel better. Cold mist preferred over warm mist so little kids will not get burnt. Need to clean frequently with some bleach water to kill bacteria.
