I use Prelone syrup (prednisolone 15 mg/5 ml) if they are that sick. I tell the mom it tastes awful and to give it with something sweet. If they are bad enough to be admitted, I will give the steroids IV and sometimes I do use the racemic epi, too. I have also had some response with nebulized steroids if you can convince the pharmacy to compound the solution for you. I have them dissolve 1 mg triamcinolone/1 ml saline and nebulize that. Some of the pharmacies will do it and some won't. Vicki Denis Vulic wrote: > > Now, we have a lot of children with croup.
