As parent it is natural to worry when your child sounds awkward in the night. Try these remedies for your child to heal his cough and croup –

  • Use a vaporizer for your child to keep his airway moisturized or simply encourage him to take a nice hot shower before going to bed. This will also help.



  • Avoid milk consumption for few days as milk can cause more congestion and phlegm.
  • Encourage hot fluids like vegetable soups and chicken broth.
  • Take extra care of your child, love him, play with him, cuddle him, talk with him and keep him happy.


    It is normal for a child to get irritated and cranky when he is suffering from croup and cough. But crying would worsen his condition.
