A member asked:
Do you suggest warm or cold mist humidifiers for colds in the winter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Humidifiers: As long as there are no young children in the house, especially toddlers, hot humifiers are fine. The reason is that they can suffer from burns. Either humidifiers do the job; each use depend on the temperature of the room you live in.
