It will help,when children have croup which is the airways narrowing,the tried and trusted method to help them is go in the bathroom and run the hot water till you have lots of steam.

I have heard differing opinions on the effects of steam with asthmatics....many take the view that it is beneficial...I am a sufferer of asthma and have always found that steam aggravates my asthma...then again I always was the exception to the rule so not sure....maybe it is a case of yes it does and no it doesn't!!!!

I have had asthma my entire life. When I was a kid, my doctor told my parents to run hot water in the shower and let me sit in the steam when I had an attack. I do this as an adult sometimes when I'm having trouble. He also recommended a humidifier. The extra moisture in the air really does help a lot when your lungs are inflamed.

the steam helps in a way that the heat relaxes the smooth muscle lining your bronchus and bronchioles. making them wider thus easier to breathe.
