“Getting a medical humidifier?”
I have secondary atrophic rhinitis or empty nose syndrome. I was wondering if getting hooked up to a medical humidifier would help and how would I go about getting one. A medical as one that hooks up to your face with a mask and tube, not in the room.

Have you consulted ENT and what's the past medical history
That could be delivered by a CPAP machine, which you can get through your insurance if you have sleep apnea or sometimes can buy online.
That would seem like a great idea. Perhaps try online.Also consider Ponaris nasal spray.
Having this on your face may give you some benefit. As you know, did yourself, humidity will help to improve some of the sensation that you have. Keeping your environment moist is one starting point. Drinking plenty of fluids Will help. Additionally, there are over the counter facial steamers, which you can place over your face to help inhale steam in moisture, which can help mitigate some of your symptomatology. I don’t feel that you need to live with a face tent or medical grade facemask over the area to deal with your situation.
Additionally, saline rinsing to the nose can be beneficial.
Try consulting with a sinonasal surgeon experience with dealing with this. There are occasionally surgical options which could be tried to help bulk up the inside of the nose. This may give you some additional relief as well.

Look for a CPAP vendor in your area. They will help you with airway humidification equipment. Helps to irrigate with dilute salt water. One tsp. of table salt in quart of water. Use bulb syringe
