Does this sound like a barking cough to y'all?
No fever. 
She is congested & the coughing seems  to get worse when she is laying flat. 

Pedi said unless there is fever or labored breathing to wait it out,
I'm in freak out mommy mode.

    I googled croup treatments...so far I just see humidifiers.

    My son had croup over the winter. The pedi had him go outside (wrapped in blankets) for a little while. In the summer, maybe try having him/her stand in front of the freezer? We also used a humidifier, which helped and I think he got some meds or a breathing treatment the next day, although I'm not positive. He did not have a fever either and was mostly okay during the day--it was mostly a middle of the night thing.

    I've got her on an incline now. It seems to be helping. She is finally asleep after a long fight. I'll call the doc again tomorrow. The cough sounds so awful. :(

    DD just got over it. Steamy shower helped, hold them up so they get the most steam. I also held her in front of the freezer. But if it is croup they need steroids to get over it.

    We did the shower thing about thirty min ago. No barking coughs since.... She is sound asleep now. Hoping she can get some rest.

    Doc says as of now we are croup free! Just a nasty cold. Vicks and lots of rest are in our future if little bit will sit still long enough.
