go into the bathroom with him turn on the faucet an shower as hot as they'll

go and shut the door as soon as the room is completely full of steam turn off

the water and just sit there with him breathing in the steam. it helps with

the breathing and loosening thing up

Taking a child outside in the cool air will stop a coughing fit also. Listen

for signs of breathing problems- as croup can be serious- it is rare, but does

happen.

Besides the ideas given (which are recommended above as

a 'mainstream' treatment), you can give more Peptizyde or other

protease you are using between meals (like 2-4 capsules each time; 3

or more times a day). This may help with the inflammation in the

airways as well as help with the bacteria/viral problem causing it.

Hi ,

I remember a post from last year about that AFP helps break up the mucus. I

normally give him 1 of each -(AFP, ZP & NF)at each meal, except when he

drinks goat milk-he gets 2 of AFP & ZP, so I gave him 2 AFP Pep this AM with

his juice and will continue to do so when his regular dose at meals are

given.

I did the steaming in the shower middle of the night to help him get back to

sleep. I remember that from when he was an infant. I was reading this

morning how OLE may help since it is the croup is a viral issue. So I

started dosing with OLE already.

I will also try Mandi's suggestion on the onion, garlic & honey remedy.

Thanks!

Sherry
