Hot Shower
Taking a hot shower is a simple yet very effective way to deal with croup. Moist and warm airflows could help relax your inflamed vocal cords. This eventually brings temporary relief against a sore throat and shortness of breath. In addition, a hot shower can alleviate swelling, thus reducing the intensity of the barking cough. All you need to do is to turn up the temperatures and take a shower. Make sure to close the window and door to keep the hot air inside. Stay around 5 to 10 minutes until you feel better.[5]
