PG and Influenza

[Dana A]

I am about to take my 8 yr old daughter to the hospital for an influenza test. I am 99% sure she has it. I am wondering about putting a small bit of PG in the vaperizer when we get back and get her settled in her room. We don't have health ins so my husband and I will be winging it without the antiviral. I am wondering if a bit of pg in the air in her room would help kill some of the germs from her constant coughing and sneezing. I have had this stuff once a few years ago and it took two weeks to get over it because I thought I would be brave and try to save 85 bux on the antiviral. My best friend just got over it and I was so worried when she had it because she was so sick. My daughter is in the 1st day of symptoms so I hope she can take the meds and only have to suffer for a few days vrs weeks. I am curious what you all think about the PG

There is no way I'd do anything like that without asking a medical professional. Hope she feels better soon.

PG has been used to help sterilize air for decades. There's some info in the health forum about it.

We just got home. The test was Positive for Influenza B. I think I will just add like a teaspoon into the vaporizer water and mix it up. I know PG has been used in hospital air flow systems in the past to kill germs. I just don't know how much to put in. I think I will put in about 1 teaspoon and hope for the best.

Man you don't want to experiment when it comes to kids.
