Like most viral illnesses, there is no cure for laryngotracheobronchitis, but there are remedies that can help lessen its severity. You need to see a qualified health practitioner who will help you determine your child's condition and discuss treatment options.
Most physicians prefer antibiotics for croup, but other medication such as homeopathic remedies may help. Doctors commonly prefer acetaminophen or ibuprofen for viral transmitted laryngotracheobronchitis. If taken in large doses, both antibiotics and acetaminophen may cause serious liver problems. Discuss your medication dosage with your doctor or pharmacist before you begin your treatment program.
With homeopathic remedies, you must take them under strict facilitation of a qualified homeopath. Always discuss your medication dosage with your doctor, pharmacist or homeopath before you begin with your treatment program.

There are several things you can do to lessen the severity of your croup, commonly known as Laryngotracheobronchitis:
- Get adequate rest . When you are asleep, your body can better fight infections. Try to stay at home until you feel better and you do not have any sign of fever.
- Gargling may help. Gargle with warm water several times a day. Gargling may help soothe throat tissues and relieve underlying pain. Always spit out the liquid after gargling. Some people gargle with salt water, but excessive salt intake may irritate your gums and uvula.
- Drink warm liquids. Warm soothing liquids also help relieve throat pain. Try soup and herbal tea instead of coffee.
