You put a few drops of essential oils eucalyptus, tea tree, and peppermint oils in a diffuser and let him inhale as a trial. You can buy these at Walmart or similar store. Flat supine position can worsen the stridor, so raise his head up to 45 degrees may help. Steroid inhalation therapy with a spacer if symptom gets worse.
