Nothing approved: We have no medications that are studied well enough to gain approval for such use. Many use diphenhydramine (Bendryl) at proper dose for age/weight because it has a sedating side effect.

Agree with Dr. F: Keeping the room air humidified will help with the airways remaining open.

No medication : I would advise bath, a story and a bedtime routine. Avoid strong lights or noise during bedtime.
