Keeping the air moist can loosen mucus and reduce congestion and coughing. A cool-mist humidifier or steam vaporiser is recommended.
People with difficulty sleeping may wish to use a humidifier at night. To maximize the effects, keep windows and doors closed.
Other ways to increase moisture in the air include inhaling steam: fill a large bowl with hot water, lean over the bowl and drape a towel over the head to contain the stream, gently inhale the steam to loosen mucus.
Another way is having a hot shower or bath: The hot water will fill the room with steam and help to alleviate symptoms.
Breathe in the steam for as long as is comfortable, then drink a glass of water to prevent dehydration.
