C
Sitting in the bathroom with the shower on provides humidity for the child, which usually improves symptoms in croup. Decongestants are inappropriate for croup, which affects the mid airway level. A dry environment may contribute to symptoms. Croup is caused by a virus. Antibiotic treatment is not indicated.
