My son has had a croup cough for a couple of days now. Seems otherwise health. Coming off cold symptoms. I can t use a humidifer because we live in a basement apartment and it causes mold. Is there anything else I can do. WIll ibuprofin relieve any of the inflammation?
Croup is a condition caused by a virus and occurs very commonly in child Chat Doctor.  You have not mentioned the age and weight of the child. The information would have been helpful. Nebulization is expected to give the child relief. The homemade alternative would be steam inhalation. Stalin (albuterol) inhalator with spacer device will also be helpful. Give ibuprofen only if there is fever and not for any other reason in such a child.
