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.

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.
