Cool Air Curtails Croupy Coughs
When I was a kid with a croupy cough, my dad would bundle me up and carry me out into the cold night air, and it would fade fast. Tonight I burritoed my daughter in her pink fuzzy blanket and did the same. Like magic, her cough was gone within minutes.
I remember when I was a kid, and I’d wake up in the middle of the night with some nasty, croupy cough — that my dad would bundle me up and carry me outside into the cold, night air It wouldn’t take long before my cough subsided and I’d be back asleep.
This memory came back to me this evening when my daughter was similarly battling a nasty, croupy cough. So, I burrito’ed her up in her favorite, pink fuzzy blanket. She was wearing her unicorn pajamas. I carried her out into the chilly night air. Like magic, her cough was gone within minutes and she was dozing off to sleep.
