Hello yes we bought one last year when my 2yo had back to back coughs that seemed to last weeks, it feels like it should help but I don’t know whether it’s coincidence but after having a normal cough for weeks a couple of weeks with the humidifier we were told it was now a chest infection.

We used it recently when he had croup and it seemed to make the cough go on for longer if anything, when I stopped using it his cough got better.

It’s quite a faff to clean too.
