[quote=Anonymous]2 kids, oldest gets croup a few times a year (she is almost 5) and youngest (who is almost 3) has had mild croup a couple of times. For us the steamy bathroom helps a little, taking her into the cold night air helps a lot, and letting them suck on a popsicle both calms them down (a popsicle at 3 a.m.! Cool!) and gets some cold into their throat which can help symptoms also. We usually give a dose of steroids the second we hear the barky cough because she gets bad stridor, but we've never had to go to the ER. Cannot wait until she outgrows it. But I also wonder if she has RAD because when she gets bad coughs she coughs until she throws up, and we had to use a nebulizer during the last bout. [/quote]
