Best Answer

If you are talking about a steam bath where the room temperature is high, then

you do not want to add more heat and add to the risk of increasing the fever. The same is true for hot baths, hot tubs, whirlpool spas, or showers. Being immersed in the heat is not a good thing with a fever and can be especially bad for the elderly, babies, and small children.

Increased humidity in the air can be good for other symptoms that might be present if the fever is caused by a cold or flu or sinus infection, so a cool air vaporizer/humidifier is good for this, and/or use of saline nasal spray (available at drug stores over the counter). A pan of hot water can be used to increase the humidity to sinuses, nasal passages and respiratory system if you drape your head completely with a towel or blanket with the hot water under it with you and breathe deeply.
