Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Croup

Poor DS had croup early Sunday morning and now for the last 3 days has had a nasty cough (not croupy though) a nose that won't stop running and is drooling since he has to breath through his mouth. We haven't had a good night sleep in 3 days since he is coughing throughout the night which wakes him up and he cries. If your lo had croup when did they start to feel better?

Re: Croup

  • DD had croup several weeks ago and she had a cough for about a week. The only thing that helped to get her to sleep through the night (her cough would constantly wake her up) is I kept a warm bottle of milk or warm water next to her crib, so as soon as she would begin coughing, I'd give her a few sips and she would fall back asleep. Good luck, hope it goes away soon!

  • Once he got the medicine from the doctor it went away in about 3 days.
  • the croup went away pretty quickly (he had it twice, the second time requiring oral steroids) but his little cough stuck around about a week I think.

  • It got better nearly immediately after a breathing treatment followed by oral steroids
