13 year old son has a croupy cough

[CroupMaster]

I’ve had younger children with croup but never at this age.

He’s been in the kitchen to breathe in steam, but it’s no better.

We’ve all had a nasty cold/flu thing for the last week or two, with a cough and enough phlegm to drown in.

Any ideas what else I can do to help him?

Take him to the drs
He may need steroids /nebuliser

They don't advise steam any more, cold air is much better so open windows or go outside, regardless of how cold it is. If you can get a Dr's appt it would be wise to check if steroids are needed.

Ah ok, I’ll give the drs a ring, thanks!
