Q.

#asktheexpert Hello doctor. Good morning. My son is 1.4 yrs old now and is residing in Chennai. There is too much heat and humidity in Chennai now due to which we are planning to buy an air cooler. In the buying process, we got to know that air coolers are not safe for babies and can cause respiratory problems. I would like to take your advice on this doctor. Thanks in advance.

A. there is no problem in using air conditioner for children as well as newborns but the air current should be slightly away . you can keep the temperxature at around 28 degree celsius to 30 degree celsius. one way to know whether the child is feeling cold or not would be by touching the palms soles and ears of the child and if they are warm the child is warm and comfortable and if they are cold the child is feeling cold.
