There is no cure for the common cold, so its prevention should be a priority, especially with our children. The FDA recommends that parents avoid using over-the-counter cough and cold medicines to treat children younger than 6 years old. The reason for this is the potential side effects that these medications can have on children, such as convulsions and a rapid heart rate. So what is a parent to do when you fear your child is developing a cold? What are you to do if you fear you are coming down with a cold as well?  Fortunately, there are cold remedies that can provide relief without the use of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines. One remedy is the use of a humidifier that is proven to provide relief from a stuffy nose, congestion, colds and more.

The use of humidifiers is especially important for children, as seen in this working moms review video, where you will get useful  information on the top humidifiers for your child, from a mom’s point of view. See below for more humidifiers that provide an effective alternative to over-the-counter cough medicines.
