Plug in a humidifier

打开加湿器

Getting moisture into the air with a humidifier is a great home remedy for chest congestion. The principle is simple: Moisture helps loosen the mucus weighing down your chest so you can cough it up and out more easily.

用加湿器给空气加湿是治疗胸痛的有效家庭疗法。原理很简单：水分有助于松开粘在胸腔上的粘液，便于咳出。

Using a humidifier to combat chest congestion doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth a try. If it works for you, just make sure to use it safely, says Alan Mensch, MD, a pulmonologist and senior vice president of medical affairs at Northwell Health's Plainview and Syosset Hospitals in New York. Humidifiers can breed mold and fungi, which can cause infections of their own. Clean your humidifier according to the manufacturer's instructions. "They're probably safe as long as they're kept clean," says Dr. Mensch.
