about the only thing that can be done for a cold is symptom relief and wait for the immune system to do its job.

Can steam help a cold?

Steam can provide temporary relief for cold symptoms by soothing irritated nasal passages and helping to alleviate congestion. Inhaling steam can also promote hydration of the respiratory tract, which may ease coughing and promote easier breathing. However, while steam can help with symptom management, it does not cure the cold itself, which is caused by a viral infection that typically resolves on its own. Always consult with a healthcare professional for persistent symptoms.
