I bought a Humidifier but one that sprays out a small mist, having Asthma , Bronchietasis and COPD, I thought give it a try. Surprise it works ! , I put it on first thing in the morning, keep it filled ,and working, and by evening I am bring up Phlegm, something I found difficult to do, I go to bed breathing better than I have been fo about a year. Please if you try this , post what you think of it.

I had my knuckles rapped once before for inadvertently mentioning a name. So unfortunately I can,t name this, but it is about5inches tall by 4 inches .I takes water from the tap to make the fine mist.Even my oldest son who has COPD knows a difference when he comes to visit. I have it on a table by my side, and I do not think That I could now do without it.hope you find one ,there are probably more than one make out there, good luck.

I'd be careful using a humidifier that you clean it regularly. A pseudnoma infection could be acquired. It's a water based bacteria.

Yes I am used to cleaning things regularly, and this will be no difference.

Pseudnoma infection is difficult to eradicate once acquired. I had a month in hospital recently with it.

Personally I would not use a humidifier.
