Casted yesterday, croup today

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My son, Tommy, was casted yesterday at CT in Cleveland (the casting

was as bad as everyone said it would be! But it is over!

He woke up today with croup, which he's never had and our older son

never had too. I was reading that it can be caused by something

inhaled so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this

after casting (or at all)!

We are anxious to get the DOC band next week!

Thanks,

Maureen

I have never heard of croup being caused by casting. I've been in the

group a little over a year. I don't have any experience with croup. I

hope he'll recover quickly. Also I hope things go smoothly with his

band. It is amazing to watch their heads change week by week.

take care. -christine

Not sure how old your little one with the croup is but

keeping him upright or even on an angle to sleep will

help, also. My four year old daughter had the croup

when she was a couple months old. It was awful. Also,

if you apply infant VICs baby rub we always laid a

warm washcloth on her. You can also buy the vapor baby

bath and soak the little one in the tub with the door

closed to keep in the moisture.

Thanks so much for the advice! We luckily never

experienced croup before with my 2 year old. I just

feel awful for the little guy with the casting and

long car ride and then to add croup and the viral

yucks (and my older son has a respiratory virus and

had to endure the car ride too)! I will definitely try

the vapor rub as well. The humidifier helped last

night.

Thanks again!

Maureen

,

Thanks for that - we just tried the baby rub tonight and hopefully that will help both the 2 year old and 4.5 month old sleep a little better. We experienced all the respiratory viruses and breathing troubles when my older son was very young...it's amazing how much you forget so soon!

Thanks again,

Maureen

Hi Maureen, you welcome, that was the only thing that

helped my four year old sleep through the night.

Sleeping her bouncer and putting infant VICs baby rub

on her with a warm cloth. I hope you little ones had a

good nights sleep. My son had bronchiolitis for his

first three winters and had to be on albuterol misted

from a machine, where he had to wear a mask on his

face.

Thanks for that - we just tried the baby rub tonight

and hopefully that will help both the 2 year old and

4.5 month old sleep a little better. We experienced

Thanks again,
