We have a 10 month old baby that has lately been getting upper respiratory infections / congestion etc. He's been on and off a nebulizer for the past few months and I'm wondering if it could be related to a humidity issue from my fish tank.
I've heard from a few people to make sure to keep typical household humidifiers cleaned daily because mold can build up in them and cause infections in babies and I was putting 2 and 2 together, but it's just a thought.
He also goes to day care during the week and picks up colds etc. from there so it could very well just be from that. My wife is a teacher so usually durning her longer breaks his upper respiratory issues improve until he goes back to day care but it could just be my imagination.
We live in an 1800sqft condo that has an open floor plan, and the tank has about 140g of water that looses close to 2gal a day. Heating and Cooling of the house is forced air.
Wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on this. Should I pick up a dehumidifier?
