Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. 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 is filled with steam. you have to sit with the child at a distance in that room away from the steamer. the child takes(inhales) the steam from a distance and this will help in decreasing the nasal blockage as well as cough and cold and this phenomena is known as indirect steam inhalation
