Humidity
Humidified (warm and moist) air plays a significant role in helping you relax your vocal cords and reduce inflammation that can make it harder for you to breathe. Fortunately, most people have humidifiers in their house. If your child is finding it difficult to breathe, you can take them to the bathroom and turn on the shower till it steams. Your child can breathe in the warm and moist air. Studies have not shown how humidified air helps improve airway irritation, but it can help children calm down and breathe better.
If your child is having a hard time breathing, take them into the bathroom and turn the shower on until steam escapes. Your child can breathe in the warm, moist air. While research hasn’t really proven this helps reduce airway irritation, it does help children to calm down and improve their breathing. Do not let your child breathe in steam from a pot of boiling water to avoid facial burns [5] or airway burns. You can try out a cool mist humidifier or breathing in cool air.
