My child has regular attacks. Keep a humidifier in your house because you need cool air, not warm air to help. Dry air is the cause of the attack. If you are in your car open a window. If you do not have a humidifier and your child is having severe breathing problems, take them to the emergency room . There they will get a breathing treatment. On in severe cases will you need surgery.

My daughter also suffers regularly from croup. I too, agree with most of these remedies. But just to throw another out there, the ENT doctor I work for also suggested sitting my daughter in a chair, put a blanket around her, and place her right in front of my open freezor door. This, at first, sounded like a form of child abuse, but now my daughter is 6 years old and when she wakes up croupy, she knows exactly what to do to make herself feel better.

To help loosen phlegm and congestion during an attack, fill a bathroom with steam by turning on the hot shower and have the child breathe in the bathroom until the attack is gone.

I have had 4 boys, all had croup regularly each winter. The best remedy I used was something called COMPLEX CROU - it is a homeopathic remedy.
Start it at onset, giving 10-20 drops in plain water and repeat every 4 - 6 hours for the first day. If you catch it the first night,(you know when it starts at 11 pm.) it will usually go away within one day of drops. If you miss the first signs, it will usually take 3 days with constant drops every 4-6 hours to keep at it. Once all bark-y symptoms are gone, use the drops at night just before bedtime for 2 more nights for good measure. Works like a charm. Remember to keep them away from sugar as well.
With my first son, I had not found this remedy and found the steam showers, vaporizers not very helpful. We spent his first two winters bundled up in sleeping bags, sitting up outside for most of the night so we could get some sleep. Don't wish that last resort solution on anyone - although in Canada, it works! All the best.

I suffered from croup as a child. I remember:
-bathroom filled with steaming shower &
-head over a steaming pot of water with towel over my head. Just be sure you don't burn yourself. Keep mustard handy....see 'burn'. :)
-The Pot of steaming water really does work, you just need the towel to keep the steam in. Kind of a good facial also.

I make my son chew vitamin A soft gels to coat his throat. I also make lots of tea with peppermint and chamomile to help him relax. Bundling him up and taking him outside if it is cold works the best to stop him from crying and helps open his airways.
