The steam from the shower acts as a decongestant which helps clear your sinuses out. Taking a hot shower is often recommended by the doctor when your sinuses or airways become clogged.

What is wrong if the toilet in the basement got clogged up and when you plunged it water and other junk came up the shower drain and you heard a gurgling noise in the sink?

Sounds like the main pipe is clogged. That's the big drain pipe that all three (toilet, shower, sink) are hooked too. When you plunge the tiolet it pushes back up the shower and sink instead of going down the clogged main pipe. The main pipe might need to be roto-rootered out. You could try some super heavy duty, pour in drain cleaner first. It might work.
