10 Home Remedies For Croup
Home Remedy #4: Hydration
Hydration is always important, especially if one is unwell. Making sure that the patient is hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of fluid is recommended by all health practitioners. Water is always the recommended choice for hydration. However, younger children may benefit more from breastmilk while older children can opt for coconut water, broths, soups, and homemade fruit pops.
Staying hydrated helps replace fluid loss that may occur from a fever. It also enables the body to fight off the infection. Warm fluids such as herbal teas, soups, and broths also help to relax the vocal cords and loosen the mucus lining the airways.
