croup

[mum2maddox]

so maddox has croup poor baby - he hasnt slept for three days and is really quite miserable... this is coupled with a cold.

someone recommended a vaporiser... anyone know if they are worthwhile?

Poor baby! I hope feels better soon! 

I have no first-hand knowledge as my kids haven't had it yet. But, I found some iinfo from Dr. Sears about the croup. He does mention a cool mist vaporizer, a steamy bathroom, or even a quick trip outside into the moist, cool night air to help. Here's the info: http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/t084200.asp
