Croupy cough: The most important thing for him is hot steam take him into the washroom, turn on the hot shower, and seam him for twenty minutes several times a day. Push fluids. Stay off milk because milk makes mucous.

Humidifier/fluids: If your son has difficulty breathing, he should be seen by a physician. If he is breathing comfortably, moist warm air helps to relieve the croupy cough ( a barking sound). Check his temperature and please let your doctor know about his condition.
