My son was first diagnosed with croup at 2(he's 9 now) and used to freak out, but a paramedic gave us advice that really helped immediately everytime. When he would get sick with croup we would immediately steam up the shower have him in there for 15min. Than take him to the balcony to breathe in the cold fresh air. Doing both helped so much and immediately. Thank you for spreading this awareness and remedy ❤️
I went to the ER couple of weeks ago cuz my son who is 22 months old was wheezing and since my daughter has asthma I knew his breathing was not normal he a strong boy but I knew his breathing didn’t seem normal we left home with prednisone and he got well pretty quick! Now he just started a fever Monday and Tuesday with this croup cough no runny nose No phlegms i have heard of this croup cough! And you are an amazing doctor that make me feel better about my son cough he is eating well and taking lots of fluids and now his steroid but you just make everything so clear to me! Thank you so much 🙏 god blessed you

I watched at 2x speed your fever video and 5 things to watch for last night when my preschooler got sick and this one today when the dr told us it was croup or croup like. Thank you for all the time and energy you spent creating these videos. They are amazing and you're fantastic.
Aw I’m so glad you found it helpful! These stories are what motivate me to make more content!
My 10 month old sounds croupy to me (sister also just got over flu 5 days ago) so I’ve been super anxious. This video made me feel more in control. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad it was valuable to you!
Thank you! Beautiful bedside manner and your recording/sound mix is very well done! Very pleasant to watch. Thank you for your advice for little ones.

My daughter has croup and this was so helpful. Thank you !
I hope your daughter's feeling better! So glad you found this helpful
Excellent information, thank you! My son just had this and it was scary to hear. Luckily, he had no fever or breathing issues and otherwise seemed fine. It sure made for a very rough couple night's of sleep for us all though. I hope this is our 1 and only experience with the croup!
So glad you found the info helpful! The cough can be scary to hear. Glad your little one is doing better!

If only all doctors speak to moms the way you do ❤

Great video! Both my boys always suffered from croup and these tips are spot on! Thanks so much!
Happy it was helpful! My son is also a croupy kid x 2 so far. Can be tough to navigate!
I'm from Philippines and thankful I watch this videos. My 2yo daughter suffer this kind of cough until now. Almost 2 weeks still she's suffering this cough.
Coughs can sometimes linger for a few weeks but is so hard to see your child sick. I hope she feels better soon and the tips in this video help ❤
@@pedsdoctalktv9960 thank you so much! I will try those recommendations specifically the steam at cr. Her pedia actually prescribed Levofront syrup and montelukast chewable..she got better after a week then after the date prescribed it came back again. It is ok? I'm worried of my daughter. Her croup cough trigger during night as I observed.
Great video doc!
Happy it was helpful!
Im looking this up because sadly my ER doctors are not always great. They can be inpatient and rude. They are not used to working with kids. Mainly children in the spectrum. So unless absolutely necessary we will stay home.
Thank you
great video, very informative thank you for the tips! x
Thank you..

Yay I’m so glad!!

My 2 1/2 year old son just started with this cough , not too bad but I love that you covered everything. I will sleep a little easier tonight. He’s acting normal and drinking lots of water so I’m trying not to worry :) I will see how he wakes up tomorrow . Thank you.
Glad to hear this brought you more information while you're in the thick of it!
thanks for the great information, really helpful for us moms with chronic intense coughers
Croup can be so scary!
Thank you doc my grandson 8 yrs was just diagnosed with croup with no respiratory difficulty but persistent cough what to do with for the cough.
thank you Doc watching in 2022 from South Africa. Im attending to my grandson as my children have been kept up and they are kept up at night. He is now 3yrs old. He hasnt stopped coughing for 2 weeks now. Since he started day care this is where he started with this croup. It sound so so painful. The doctor has diagnosed it as croup. Im at my wits end because we dont want to take him to clinic as he has been on soooooooooooo many antibiotics.
Dad's care about their kids too
My 4 year old has just woke in the night with a occasional seal like cough she has also had a “viral” rash the past week
Great vedio👍
Thank you!
My daughter is 3 weeks and she have croup I went to a doctor and he give her wrong medz how can I deal with it at home for my daughter
I have this cough sound! and it’s chronic without any other symptoms
Interesting!! Viral illnesses can cause a dry cough that can persist for a few weeks and sometimes linger a little longer but if your cough continues well past that I’d bring it up with your clinician, they may want you to see an adult ENT. Adults don’t typically get croup but there are other causes or a barky cough they may evaluate you for
Thank you so much for your video. Doctor in your opinion , is a stat dose of dexamethasone better than prednisolone.
Thank you.
I find that one dose of dexa is better than prednisolone for croup and I notice it to have less side effects. Side effect being prednisolone can make some kids very agitated or cranky (short lived but still tough) and I dont see this as much with dexa
So so helpful! Could you talk a bit about steroid usage for mild cases? My son has croup (likely due to Omicron) and though we have a mild case, the doctor recommended a single dose of steroids. I’m not sure whether to take it or wait it out, especially as we might be flying soon. Would appreciate any advice!
I would go by severity. If impacting sleep or breathing, benefit is there. My son had croup twice as a young toddler and we waited it out the first time, ended up with decadron and second time did prednisolone. I will say the prednisolone made him very very angry. Its a common side effect that does improve once the medicine stops. Hence why I always look at benefit vs risk. Overall, we are happy we used the medicine as it did help his clinical symptoms when needed!
Hi docter. I think my daughter is battling with croup at the moment. She just came off antibiotics, but she's coughing terribly. She can barely sleep at night due to coughing. I'm going to start steam showers tonight and see how it goes. I want to get a humidifier aswell, but do I use it just like that or add an oil in??
Hello miss, hope your girl is doing okay now..I'm maybe suffering from this croup cough since last Dec 2023..I'm an 18yo this Feb..I have the exact same symptoms of this thing..I fell very difficult to breathe or talk and even eat..I finished my antibiotics last week felt little better for 2-3days but now I'm coughing like this again..I feel tired of this..Please tell me how is your child now and what did you do after that..😢😊
Another gynnocentric approach is exactly what everyone needed. LMFAO!
How can parents perhaps tell the difference between croup or pertussis? Thank you
I will do a pertussis/whooping cough video this year!
Is it possible to have a light cough after croup
Yes 100%. Remember that a virus can cause croup and that same virus can cause a lingering cough as well
I’m 20 years old and still have croup, pediatricians are floored. Any reason to why It’s proceeded into my adulation?
Cut out dairy
My 10 year old son has that very same cough right at this moment. It always reoccur everytime. I am so stressed out 😢
If croup continues to reoccur I’d recommend talking with your child’s clinician, sometimes an ENT referral/eval is appropriate to look for other causes of the barky cough. I know it can be so stressful to experience. I hope he feels better ❤️
Poor babies.
My son vomited the prednisone steroid i dont have other dose as it was only single dose 5 ml but i have 2ml left over can i give him 2l according to 3 years age btw he is also on faint strep throat so antibiotics are going on.
I’d consult with your child’s clinician on dosing/if he needs to be re-dosed. Hope he feels better soon ❤️
My daughter got diagnosed with croup recently she is almost 4 years old she didn't have any symptoms but a weird fever one day on and off for 3 weeks she'd have a fever and then it would go away and she be fine the rest of the week and then she have a fever for a day or two and then should be fine the rest of the week sometimes you have a headache as well and that happened for 3 weeks and then one day she woke up and started with the seal bark cough and a slight fever the cough was only in the morning and wasn't that bad the next day I took her to the doctor she had no more fever and no cough but the doctor made her cough and she heard it in her voice the bark was there and her voice sounded a little raspy I had them check for covid because last year or so we were at the water park in the Poconos and she was having a hard time breathing I didn't know if it was because the room we were staying in had two rooms the room we were in didn't have a window and the fan wasn't working properly but I watched her sleep and she was stopping breathing and then she wake up gasping for air and go back to sleep and then I heard it in her breathing and I looked it up and I thought for sure it was croup I put her by the window with it open it was wintertime so that helped a little the next day I took her to the emergency room and she said same thing happened with her daughter and it ended up being covid sure enough they gave her steroids anyway just in case and it turned out to be covid but she had more croup symptoms back then then she did this time around which makes no sense and this time around it was no covid just croup so weird
Yes prior strains of covid caused similar symptoms to croup! Hope your daughter feels better this go around ❤
I’m quite positive I have croup at 19 years old….

Mam my 2 month old daughter is suffering from croup plz guide me how long lasting croup is. When she will get rid of croup. Is croup perminant or curable please please reply me
How is your baby now
Hey! croup lasts usually up until age 5. It’s not permanent but there isn’t a “cure” for it. It should only happen when they get sick. And it’s not something you should panic panic over. It sounds much worse than it is. I’ll be honest I’m a rare case and at 20 I still get the croup. But the only times I’m affected by it is when I’m sick and I have never ever been hospitalized even with asthma. It’s just a minor inconvenience when I’m sick because it’s loud and my chest will hurt a little bit. When I was younger what helped me a lot was a humidifier by my bed when I slept
@@skyeaust1763 hi, was it a cool mist humidifier you used? Does honey help with croup and any suggestions I could use to help ease my sons experience. This is his secant time getting croup
