Croup

kls621

Hi ladies, 

It has been a long time since I have been on the bump, but I was hoping you guys might be able to provide some answers for me. 

My daughter is eleven months old and has croup. I have the humidifier running. I am sleeping in her room and she is sleeping elevated to try to help with the congestion. We are on night two of the croup cough. So far it has basically ended up being almost an all nighter for me. I am extremely exhausted.

Anyone have experience? How long did it last for your child? Any tips that could offer more relief?

TIA Ladies

my son was put on a nebulizer every 4 hrs and at bath time make the bathroom steamy and wrap him in a towel and take him outside the cold air will break up the cough. ..

My son just had croup about a month ago and the only thing that seemed to work for us was putting the baby vicks on the bottoms of his feet & then put socks on. No joke this really works. I didn't think it would until i tried it. I did it for a week. He could breath and no coughing.

My son just got over croup after a long week. We took him outside at night when he had a coughing fit. He was so congested. Hang in there!
