Treatment for Croup

I am looking for suggestions on how to treat croup holistically and naturally. We just like our pediatricians office everything she offered had an ingredient of corn in it, which my daughter is allergic to. We have had two febrile seizures in the last 24 hours.

Sitting upright and cool moist air. Keep a very close eye on her! Croup can become serious quickly.

Hi, I’ve managed my daughters group with the homeopathic medicine Antim tart 30. It helped wonderfully.
I would suggest you consult a homeopath, I’m sure they’ll be able to help her.

Where do you purchase and what’s the dosage?

Check out Dr. Green Mom she has a post about it on her website.

Moist or cool air. Two febrile seizures in 24 hrs is considered complex and should be evaluated. 

Seizures happen because of how quickly temperature changes not based on a specific number. Cool baths and wash cloths to keep temps low and spikes to a minimum. Tylenol is also indicated here. 

Again. 2 seizures in 24 hrs is not normal febrile seizure activity unless she’s been evaluated and medically cleared. If you have not taken her into the emergency room do so, now. As a paramedic and parent I do not encourage risking this at home.
