Ear infection need antibiotics. Croup can be relieved by turning on your shower full blast on hot and letting the bathroom fill with steam. Sit on the toilet with her, rocking, have some music, for about 30 minutes.
I agree with Debi. My kids both got ear infections constantly and we got their adenoids removed to take away the jumping-off point for their germs- they both snored like mad, too. Neither of them has had an ear infection since, and they're teens now.
Can you ditch milk products until she's done with this? They thicken the mucus and make it harder to drain everything. Also, giving her probiotic supplements may help a lot- we'd open capsules and sprinkle them over a spoonful of applesauce to get our kids to take them, but I think you can get liquid versions now. Many times that will help clear up stuff, plus help her recover from the antibiotics faster.
Of course, you know chicken soup helps, right? Scientifically proven to decrease swelling in mucus membranes and help fight illness and dehydration!!
Albuterol could help the croup, helps with the breathing. It's a persciption. Opens the airways, it's the same stuff that's in inhalers. Youngest DD gets respitory infections so often we had a nebulizer perscribed for at home breathing treatments.
