[quote=Anonymous]Both my kids have had this. My older one always responded to at-home treatments, while my younger one wound up in the ER. We went to the ER per our Ped Nurses suggestion because when I called at 4PM my child was already having stridor, so they recommended we go to the ER since it gets worse at night. Turned out to be the right call for us - we went in around 6PM and we were seen right away because my child was feverish and lethargic with obvious retractions. But we were also seen within 10 min of walking in the door - if you bring a toddler struggling to breath into the ER they will see you right away. So I think you're fine to wait at home as long as you are able to manage the symptoms at home / your child isn't struggling to breath.[/quote]
