What Is A Croup Tent
A croup tent helps children with breathing problems like croup. It provides warm, moist air and extra oxygen. The tent is clear so doctors and parents can watch the child easily. This moist air reduces swelling in the throat and makes breathing easier. The tent creates a calm space, but staff must watch closely. Too much carbon dioxide can build up inside. Today, doctors use medicine delivered by nebulizers more often. Still, croup tents can help in certain cases as extra support. They must be used safely and under medical care.
