Is it safe to give a bath/shower with low grade fever on and off?

DS woke up with a runny nose, and he has a low grade fever of about 99.0. I really want to take him in the shower so he can be exposed to all the moisture and steam (to clear up his sinuses) but am not sure if the heat will spike his fever or not.

Thank you ladies. I am a first time mom, and have to admit that fevers freak me out, but I know they are a good sign that the body is attacking an infection.
