Hello,
Children with infectious croup often have a low-grade fever and mild cold symptoms before a cough begins.
I suggest using over-the-counter pain relievers to help soothe discomfort,
I recommend Tylenol every four to six hours.
I also suggest giving liquids and rest.
I recommend to continue using the antibiotic as prescribed by the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
