Whats the difference between a dehumidifier and an air purifier? what would be best for a cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difference: a dehumidifier extracts water from the circuklationg air. An air filter contains micropore HEPA filters to catch spores, molds, dusts, pollens etc. Air filters work best for allergies.
