Rationale: Steam from running water in a closed bathroom and cool mist from a bedside humid-ifier are effective in reducing mucosal edema. Cool mist humidifiers are recommended over steam vaporizers, which present a danger of scald burns. Taking the child out into the cool, hu-mid night air may also relieve mucosal swelling.
