My 10 month old great nephew has croup (Google: An upper airway infection that blocks breathing and has a distinctive barking cough.)
The doctor told my niece the baby should avoid dust, strong chemicals, and pets until this clears up. They have him on antibiotics (they originally thought it was just a cough) now on medicine to bring down the inflammation.
i just put an air purified downstairs, and we put one in my nieces room. I also cleaned up the loose pet hair, and have a small robot vacuum running downstairs.
Are my cats a danger to my nephew? the doctor said this was serious and could cause him to stop breathing. Hes mostly upstairs in a room the cats dont go into. But he goes downstairs a few times a day.
Should i be worried?
edit: my niece is also buying him a cold humidifier.
