Natural Remedies for Croup
Croup is a type of cough many kids will have at least once before they turn 5 years old. It is a scary but usually harmless illness, and there are lots of natural remedies to help your little one feel better quickly (and help everyone get to sleep again!).
Most of the time a case of croup starts as just a regular cold or a mild flu. A few days into their sickness your child may lie down and start a loud, raspy, barking cough, possibly with some gasping or wheezing in between. This unusual sounding cough is caused by a swelling of the windpipe and is what’s often describes as the “seal bark cough.”
