Another way to incorporate steam into home cough treatments is by taking a bath. Warm baths will help break up mucus and phlegm inside the chest and throat. In the colder months, when coughs routinely develop, baths can improve these symptoms and ease any accompanying muscle pain, as well as simply feeling good.
Make the water quite warm, but keep in mind that very hot water can result in dry skin. Once the bath is drawn, attempt to remain in the tub, breathing deeply in the steam, for as long as possible.
