Whether its a window fan, or a standing interior fan, or a ceiling fan, I always end up with an earache or a stuffy nose or a sore throat.. or all three. WHY? I am only allergic to dust and mold, and my house is clean.. so what is it about the fan that makes me feel sick?
Answer:
No matter what there is always dust in the air. And the fact is the fan blows it down on you, and you breathe it in. And what probably happens is, your nose gets stuffy first, so then your body breathes through your mouth and you throat gets irritated. But , one thing that could reduce the amount of pollen and allergens in the air, is to get a really good air conditioning filter, look for merv 11 or higher, it helped my sinuses tremendously. Good luck, you could also ask your doctor if you might wanna be on zyrtec or something.
It definitely sounds like allergies! Fans blow dust around and it's impossible to have a completely dust free home. Try Claritin OTC or see your doctor for a prescription if Claritin doesn't work. You may also want to look into a good air purifier.
Hope you feel better soon!
just because ur house is clean doesnt mean ur fan is clean.
If your fan is not extremely clean it will be blowing dust particles right at you. This may cause a stuffy nose or sore throat. Try either turning the fan away from you or set to oscilate. MAKE SURE ITS VERY CLEAN. I sleep with a fan on every night..
