Use a Humidifier
A humid room can do wonders for a cold, especially in the winter when the air tends to be drier. A humidifier works by adding moisture to the air around it. The increased moisture in the air can help to ease the congestion and coughing that come along with a cold.
Warm-mist or cold-mist? Both humidifiers are equally beneficial when it comes to treating a cold, as they will both work to increase the moisture in the air. For safety reasons, a cold-mist humidifier is best for children.
When using a humidifier always be sure to keep it clean to prevent mold and mildew growth, which can be harmful.
