#AskTheExpert due to change in weather my 6 month old babies are facing cold and cough. can we give steam. difficulty in breathing due to congestion please advise

A. you should have a steamer in a room which is producing steam. you have to own it so that steam is generated and the room is filled with steam. you have to sit with the child at a distance in that room away from the steamer. the child takes(inhdales) the steam from a distance and this will help in decreasing the nasal blockadge as well as cough and cold and this phenomena is known as indirect steam inhalation
