Croup - Any ways to prevent it?

DS (23 months) had a nasty bout of croup for the 2nd time in a month last night - trip to A & E with a night spent under "observation" in the paeds unit.

Anyway. He's still got a cough - not the barking seal cough but definitely a cough. The hospital wouldn't give me a prescription for the steroid - dex.... which he's had before (including last night) and works.

I'm trying to avoid another trip to A & E tonight and croup altogether in the future. Any old fashioned remedies? He gets too upset to go outside for cold air and the hot humid bathroom doesn't do much either.

Sorry this is disjointed - I'm also cooking dinner.

Hello - heads up that this thread hasn't been posted on for over a year. If you still have questions, we've pulled together some information on a page on croup which you can read in our Babies section here.
