Do air purifiers work?

[kh71]

Daughter needs surgery very soon but is getting sore throat in mornings I’m wondering if an air purifier might work… anyone recommends any? Wondering if I could borrow or buy one cheaply somewhere?

Maybe a humidifier, or bowl of water near her bed might help. Sometimes dry air can cause a sore throat

Thanks so much I’ll try that too… might still try getting hold of an air purifier as well if at all possible - want to try cover all bases!

Someone has one for sale in the " Items for sale" column.

I saw that too but it was already sold unfortunately -  so if anyone else has one they’re not using I’m still interested! Thanks!
