A member asked:
Is it possible to put alka seltzer cold and cough into a humidifier and breathe in the medication instead of drinking it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If want to active ingredients in alka seltzer to enter your body, using a humidifier will prevent this from happening. The medicine will not vaporize efficiently; it will be trapped in the humidifier itself.
