DD is mucuos-y - what to do????

DS is just getting over croup - yup, it sucked. I think DD caught it, unfortunately. Last night, both times she got up to eat, she was just too mucous-y to really truly eat.. she'd start to gag/cry/choke. So she got hardly anything at all last night. She's back in our room (we wanted to hear her) and no noise, no wheezing/weird breathing.. but just lots of mucous when she's awake.

I know to suction the nose, obv, but what about her poor little throat/etc? I plan to call the on-call pedi later..   since DS's croup came on so fast, in case DD's does too.

Advice?

  • I would use a humidifier, saline spray and suction the nose, like you said, as well as elevate her head on whatever she's sleeping on.  Hope she feels better.
