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.

Why does a cold front bring worse weather?

A cold front brings worse weather because it occurs when a mass of cold air pushes into a region occupied by warmer air. This cold air is denser and forces the warm air to rise rapidly, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation. As the warm air ascends, it cools and condenses, often resulting in thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds. The abrupt change in temperature and pressure associated with cold fronts can also lead to unstable atmospheric conditions, exacerbating severe weather events.


Is cold air heavier than warm air?

False because warm air rises. The particles in cold air are moving more slowly and make cold air more dense than warm air.

Will the pump help the croup?

A pump is not typically used to treat croup, which is usually managed with supportive care, such as humidified air or corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. If the croup is severe, medical intervention may be necessary, but a pump itself would not be a direct treatment. It’s essential to consult a healthcare provider for appropriate management of croup symptoms.

It's important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate management of croup symptoms.
