A member asked:
Are oils in vaporizers safe for babies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For what purpose?: Vaporizers are designed to put clean moisture into the air to assist a child with congestion. Fragrances, whether pleasant or not, are irritating to the lungs and airways of infants and most often increase symptomatic cough rather than help.
