Because croup is a viral illness antibiotics are ineffective; as it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate croup from bronchitis, an antibiotic might be given. Treatment otherwise consists of keeping the child in a warm, moist atmosphere; at home this can be very effectively done by putting the child into e.g.a steamy kitchen or bathroom. Another treatment is to give a steroid either by mouth or as an aerosol in moistair - there is increasing interest in the value of this. The croup phase ofthe illness lasts for a couple of days, then becoming a more ordinary cough.
