Should I Be Concerned As My Baby Is Having Croup Cough And Have A Hard Time Staying Asleep?

I have a 10 month old, seems to have croup... is steam still the best thing to use? I gave her some homeopathic meds cause I thought it was just a cold, but now she has the croup cough and is having a hard time staying asleep... anything I should watch for over night?

Hai...You should keep watching for an inspiratory noise while breathing. Also, do not give steam inhalation or anything. The best thing to do will be to keep the child in the most comfortable position possible. If you hear any inspiratory noise, rush to the nearest emergency room.
