Thanks Luna. It was alarming how quickly he got ill. I don't think he had reached a dangerous stage, but I was thinking of conracting the G.P. tomorrow. He might have reached a dangerous stage by then. As it was he had a high temperature and a nasty sounding cough. When the nurse connected him up to the monitoring device his pulse rate was in the 170s, even when he was asleep. A few hours later it is in the 120s. I don't know what is typical for two-year-olds. The nurse nebelated him. She put a mask over his face and made him breathe steam with some medicine in the steam. I think the medicine might have been adenaline.

Croup IS scary with young children, hope he gets better very soon. One reassuring thing about children, though, is how quickly they bounce back.

That sounds very frightening, I hope he gets better soon. I haven't heard of croup for years, I think one of the treatments used to be opening a window, presumably to let in fresh air.  I wonder if that's a function that the nebuliser does, getting more oxygen into their system.
