Croup: Obviously, you'll want to call doctor in the morning. As long as he's breathing ok, you can call in morning. Here is some info on croup with tips to get through the night (moist air, etc). Hope this helps! http://www.Mayoclinic.Org/diseases-conditions/croup/basics/definition/con-20014673.

CROUP: Take him to the bath room, open the hot shower and let him breath steam. It is summer in australia now, croup is seen more in the winter. If it is hot, can use cool mist humidifier, or can use a vicks' vaporizer. Make sure he is well hydrated. If not comfortable, make a trip to the er.
