How To Control Croup?
My 8 yr old son woke up with croup. I just had him take a 10 minute shower. Is there anything else I should do for him? Also, he is not running a fever. Should I let him resume his normal activities if he is feeling well enough. He has baseball practice today and school tomorrow. Thank you.
