[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 407307, member: 1233"] Glad he is feeling better. Croup is a really scary thing to have. the medications will help. When he is coughing there are some other things you can do. Have him sit in the bathroom while the shower runs with just hot water so the bathroom is super steamy. You can also pour steaming hot water into a bowl and have him hold his face about a foot over it. Put a bath towel over his head to help hold the steam in place and have him breathe as calmly as he can. I do NOT like the bowl method for kids because they can get hurt badly if they spill the water. If that doesn't work, take him outside to sit down or take a walk. Yes, sounds strange, but it works. The cool air is super helpful for some people. These can make a HUGE difference in how bad the croup gets. [/QUOTE]
