Help! DS room is 25.7 degrees! It's boiling!

[NedSchneebly]

I need some brilliant MN ideas for cooling a room down- never know about window open, curtains open or shut during the day etc.

DS is 3.8. His room is currently 25.7. It is a south facing reasonably big double room. He has particular health issues with overheating- he is unable to sweat, caused by genetic disorder. Am concerned that if it's this hot in April, what will it be like in July?! We have a tower fan and a round (!) fan, which are OK, but quite noisy, and he says he can't sleep with them on. He is currently wearing pull ups and short pj bottoms, and covered in an empty duvet cover.

Anyone help with ideas to cool room during day, combination of fans, window open, curtai s etc, or do I have to bite the bullet and buy an air con unit?

cheers!

As you have a child with health problems there may well be a grant out there you could apply for. Maybe ask your GP/HV or if your DS's condition has a support group then maybe contact to ask for advice. Maybe even lottery funding? Worth a google at least.

Hope you manage to get some help.
