What are cures for the croup cough in five year olds?

Question

It sounds like my child has croup. Is there anything specifically I can do at home, or does this require a doctor visit?

Answer

go the dr

Answer

Gotta go to the Doctor. Shouldn't ever just take chances with your child's airways.

Answer

You definitely need to see your doctor... But, cold humidified air usually helps quite a bit if you can't make it until morning :) Opening the freezer door and letting them breathe in the air for a few seconds, going outside and breathing in the cool/damp night air for a few minutes... those usually work wonders! I'm a paramedic/RN and that's what they always taught us in school!I'm sorry your kiddo isn't feeling well. Good luck to you!

Answer

Humidifier works well. I know your not supposed to suppress a cough but If he needs a break from coughing to get a little rest honey is a great all natural cough suppressant.

Answer
