Revisited by Croup

Katie came down with a case of the croup again the other day, coughing loudly and uncontrollably for hours on end. Luckily the worst of it was over in under 24 hours and she only lost one night of sleep. The coughing was not even slowed by vapor rubs, hot showers, humidifiers, or a drink. We did manage to find one home remedy that appeared to work. Cold air seems to do the trick. If we took her outside for even 5 minutes, she stopped coughing. Once she stopped coughing and relaxed for a bit, she was fine to go back inside.
Now she seems to be fine. A little cough is lingering, but nothing like what she was suffering from.
