Humidity

Humidified air, which is moist and warm, can help alleviate inflammation and relax the vocal cords, which can make it more difficult to breathe. Thus, you can turn on the humidifier and inhale deeply to allow these flows to come into your respiratory system. Another option is to have a bow of boiling water, then put your face above to get humidified air. Make sure to keep a safe distance to avoid burns on the face.[8]
