Suggest Best Remedy For Croup

My 9 month old granddaughter has the croup the doctor said this past Saturday night. She seems to be gettting better, but this evening she vomited and has a temp of 99.4. My daughter got nervous and called the Emergency. The baby is sleeping now. What should we be concern with? Is this an indication of anything more serious?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Croup is usually due to laryngotracheobronchitis , which is mostly viral , One vomiting is not cause of concern , you need to be concerned if there is stridor at rest ( means a respiratory sound present with breathing when baby is not crying ), if there is high fever , there is drooling of saliva , respiratory distress is increased , baby is not comfortable, crying excessively , or dull .If the baby is comfortably sleeping I do not think any reason to concern, but at the same time keep a close watch at warning signs and if any report to emergency.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Wishing your child good health.
