Yes the doctor said to try that if it gets bad in the night. But, we don't have a humidifier and I don't much care to bring a boiling pot of water in her room in the middle of the night (like the doctor suggested lol). Worst case we will set up our camp beds in the bathroom and run the shower in there.

One of my kids had croup years ago, and we did not have a humidifier either. Instead we put an electric kettle out of her reach and kept it going all night. One night the steam wasn't helping, so we sat in front of an open window (it was about -10 outside) and the cold air helped quite a bit.
