Summary

This is a nonblinded randomized controlled trial which is a survey-based comparison between supportive treatments for symptom relief from pediatric upper respiratory infection (URI). The primary objective of this study is to determine if the use of handheld humidifier improves URI symptom scores and/or reduces use of over the counter medications compared to other supportive treatments for pediatric URIs (ie. OTC cold medications, room air humidifier). Study duration is approximately 1 year and the individual intervention is 4 days.

DEVICE

Handheld humidifier

Subjects will be randomized into 2 groups: handheld humidifier group (FDA cleared medical device that uses distilled water) \& control group. Both groups may use any supportive modalities desired such as over-the-counter cold medications (OTCs), room air humidifier etc. Follow up surveys will be obtained on days 1 and 2 following the ED visit to assess whether then intervention (use of handheld humidifier) improved symptom scores or reduced the use of OTC medications or room humidifier.
