After the use of an epinephrine pen, give it to your physician, pharmacist, or health care professional for proper disposal.
Depending on how severe you can sit with them in the bathroom with doors shut and shower running hot so as to steam up the bathroom and let them breath in the steam, also panadol to help calm them. They can also have warm shower with all doors and windows shut and no fan. Or if really bad a trip to the hospital where they give them a dose of a steroid medicine and if croup is recurring a doctor can prescribe the medicine for use at home. Also the steam vaporizer machines you purchase from the chemist can be used.
That would be a dangerous thing to do. Your heartbeat naturally increases as you exercise. Epinephrine is a potent drug and can be fatal if used improperly.

Cold Air helps dramatically with the treatment of Croup. Highly recommended. Having your child, suffering with Croup, breathe cold air provides symptomatic relief within 15 minutes. Do NOT use steam being Croup is swelling in the upper larynx. Steam does not shrink swelling whereas cold air decreases the swelling. Think of a sprained ankle.... Cold shrinks the swelling. Remember, Croup is NOT in your lungs... it's in the upper throat area. Cold Air is the number one recommendation from all Pediatricians for symptomatic relief of Croup.
Epinephrine or more commonly known as adrenaline bind to adrenergic receptors. These adrenergic receptors are a type of G-protein coupled receptors
ACLS protocols allow for the use of vasopressin instead of the first does of epinephrine in the v-fib/pulseless v-tach algorithms. If vasopressin is used, no epinephrine is given for 10 minutes following the administration of vasopressin. After that 10 minutes, epinephrine is given every 5 minutes, as per the usual algorithm.

Epinephrine CANNOT be given IV push--unless you want to put your patient into severe tachycardia and risk of cardiac arrest! That's why Epi pens are injected into the thigh. Hospital use can use alternate delivery methods, but not IV push.
