Scared the heck out of me, he seemed like he was having trouble breathing, and wasn't able to say anything, just a horrible coughing noise....yikes!

Called the Dr, and a nurse called back, walked me through some home remedies, but said to keep an eye and ear on it......

3 kids 5 and under isn't easy!

We used the bathroom shower technique

Went into the bathroom and closed the door and all the windows. Turned the shower all the way on and steamed everything up. Wasnt perfect, but helped more than anything else.
