Looking forward to expert opinions PS: he is born in Germany and came to India for the first time at the age of 11 months so not used to Delhi pollution as well

Steam is generally not recommended as it can cause burns, it is better to use a device like humidifier that is safe and effective, use saline nasal drops and give him plenty of warm fluids
