Willow has gotten sick on and off since she was born just like everyone does. One time when she was particularly congested we finally got her a humidifier. We opted for the "cool mist" humidifier. After doing a little searching, we settled on this cute frog humidifier by Crane. (They come in a lot of cute designs as you can see below)
So, why get a humidifier? Well, The National Institutes of Health recommends the use of humidifiers to help relieve congestion from the common cold, flu and sinus infections. Any time you have congestion, a humidifier may be able to help. They add moisture to the air which will in turn moisten your skin (including nasal passages) and thin some of the mucous in your sinuses. This makes it easier for you to breathe and easier for the mucous to drain.
And you know what? It seemed to help her quite a bit.
