Dd (4) has had this since Wednesday. First GP trip was Thursday where no action required. Went back today after a particularly awful night and croup has been confirmed and been given 3 days of steroids. She can go a few hours playing really nicely and then will get stuck in a nasty cycle of coughing. This is SO much worse at night. On top of the steroids I'm doing calpol and vicks on feet. How much longer is this likely to last? It's horrid seeing her struggle and tbh, I'm totally exhausted. She'll definitely stay off school on Monday at least.
