Chloe needed steroids, and they said steamy bathroom, and cold air. I used vicks as well on the Doctors recommendation.]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:50:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=714440&title=croup-help#714440 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=714327&title=croup-help#714327 Author: busyissy

Have you been to the doctor, Dom had very bad croup early this year and needed steroids to help clear his cough and allow him to breathe normally.]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:04:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=714327&title=croup-help#714327 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=714110&title=croup-help#714110 Author: kellie

Cold air is really good. So is steam.

Aconite is great in the early stages.

You can also try Spongia, and Hepar Sulphur. Alternate between the 2.

My DH got croup a lot as a youngster, and still gets it every now and then. What has always worked for him was opening the window and breathing the cold air.

I hope your boy gets better soon, it's horrible when it's your DH, let alone your child.]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:07:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=713856&title=croup-help#713856 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=713837&title=croup-help#713837 Author: chonny

It's Vincent. Just steamed up the bathroom (altho i don't think it works) & had a hot bath with some ginger & garlic in it. Just from the jars, but at least was strong smell or garlic so think it may have helped. Biggest concern with V is that he doesn't drink overly much anyways, that i need to be careful he doesn't get dehydrated. Funny you say the cold air worked kebakat, i haven't let him play outside cos it was too cold. If he gets too bad tonight i may end up giving that a try. it doesn't seem to bother him too muche xcept he didnt have a sleep this avo cos he was coughing every two mins or so.]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:38:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=713837&title=croup-help#713837 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=713815&title=croup-help#713815 Author: kebakat

We put vaseline on his feet and then some vicks on top of that. And when he was getting really bad we put a few extra layers on and sat outside with him. Sounds really dumb but its easier for them to breathe in cold air and then he would stop coughing almost instantly]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:54:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=713815&title=croup-help#713815 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=713812&title=croup-help#713812 Author: Maya

Oh no! Which one? My youngest three had it a few weeks back. If he gets really bad, take him to the doc, they can give him Redipred which will help his breathing. Otherwise I found Vicks Baby Balsam seemed to help a little. When Maya was a baby and had it I was told to take her into a steamy bathroom, but apparently they don't recommend that anymore coz of the risk of burning. Random.

Hope the boys are better soon!]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:51:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=713812&title=croup-help#713812 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27276&PID=713774&title=croup-help#713774 Author: chonny
