My 7 month son got croup and has been in an out of the ER twice this week. Its currently midnight and is getting another nebulizer dose before we get moved to a room. Hes doing better but its been rough. We are gonna be here at least another day for observation this time which is way better than getting sent home again to see how he does. Here’s hoping he kicks its ass and gets over this quick. It sucks seeing my little guy sick like this.
Edit: he’s doing a lot better today. They were doing the nebulizer every two hours and its been almost 7 without it now. Fingers crossed we are over the hump. Thanks for the support y’all.
Very similar story for my 1.5 year old. Visits to the ER for steroid nebulizers two nights in a row. We were never kept for observation, but that may be because he’s older. I don’t think croup is supposed to last long. We had two bad nights and got better steadily for another week until it was over.
But yeah croup is nasty. We thought he had inhaled something and was choking the first night.
