I'd tend to agree that with Peter's comments on air purifiers ,and recycling
the same air.
I think of that in terms of commercial aircraft which is also doing the same
thing.
There's been discussion of this in air travel NG's.
I personally never think I'm at my best after flying and breathing in
everyone else's exhaled air
I wouldn't dare take the place of a qualified doctor on what may or may not
be best for your son.
Indeed there's conflicting evidence regarding steam treatment warm mist
humidifiers.
I'd seriously ask your consultant at the hospital for further advice on warm
or cold humidifiers.
However,
Having lived all my life with a family of lung diseases, one tip you may
want to try, is to try to give your child several pillows.
By raising the head it can help clear the mucus from blocking airways.
Also keeping him calm when he is having an attack.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.
