How to deal with Croup

While croup can be distressing for both children and parents, the good news is that it usually resolves on its own within a few days. However, there are various treatment options available to help alleviate symptoms and manage the condition. In mild cases, providing a calm and humid environment can ease breathing and reduce coughing. Steam from a warm shower or a cool mist humidifier can be beneficial. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, can help reduce fever and discomfort. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before administering any medication to your child.
