Useful tips to reduce allergy severity Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water to thin mucus. Inhale steam: take a hot bath or boil water and pour it into a bowl, face the bowl (stay at least 1 foot away), place a towel over the back of your head to form a tent, and inhale. Use some inhalers (air humidifier), for example, Vicks air humidifier, to loosen mucus. Avoid inhaling irritants such as dust, perfumes, or pollutants. Wear face masks to reduce exposure to allergens. Smoke sometimes causes airway irritation and inflammation, which can turn into bronchitis. Quitting smoking will help you get rid of cough.
