Safe Use of Humidifier and 
Vapor Rubs in Children

Cold season has a special talent for humbling parents. One minute, you are 
confident and well rested. The next, you are standing in your kitchen at 2 a.m. 
holding a humidifier manual, trying to understand the English language with only 
one eye open. 
As a parent, I will fully admit that I have probably purchased 10 humidifiers over 
the years. Not because they break, but because I forget to clean them properly, 
feel personally attacked by the mineral buildup inside, and decide it is emotionally 
healthier to buy a new one.
Understanding the Role of 
Humidifiers and Vapor Rubs
Humidifiers add moisture to dry indoor air, which may help thin nasal secretions, 
soothe irritated airways, and make breathing more comfortable. This can be 
helpful at night, when congestion often worsens and much-needed sleep 
becomes harder to come by. Humidifiers are less effective than saline applied 
directly to the nose.
Vapor rubs work through smell and sensation. Ingredients such as menthol and 
eucalyptus create a cooling sensation that can help children breathe more easily 
by making it feel more comfortable.

When to See a Pediatrician
Parents should contact a pediatrician if a child has difficulty breathing, 
rapid breathing, chest retractions, persistent fever, fever in an infant 
under 3 months or in an immunocompromised child, poor feeding, or 
worsening symptoms rather than improvement.
Children with asthma or other underlying respiratory conditions should 
check with a healthcare provider before using humidifiers or vapor rubs.
