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(inhales) the steam fromc a distance and this will helpc in decreasing the nasal blockage as well as cough and cold and this phenomena is known as indirect steam inhalation
