Croup 😭

It’s official: Croup is AWFUL.

My almost-2-year-old has been sick for 5 days. Fever (around 100’), cough, wheezing, hoarse voice, no energy, absolutely no appetite, diarrhea, night sweats, lots of crying (him AND me).

We’re doing Tylenol/Motrin for the fever and pain. Doctor prescribed steroids for the wheezing, which has helped. Using a cool mist humidifier at night. Soft foods, trying to encourage lots of water. And hugs.

This is awful!! Any other advice? How long will this last???!
