No, just steroids. 3 doses total, and after the second, he was almost completely better, and ALL better after the third dose.

No - DD gets it from allergies so there is no need for them. If it is a cold antibiotics won't help either - only if they have something like an upper or lower respiratory infection - antibiotics won't work with a virus.
DD doesn't take anything when she gets it other than some musinex to keep the mucus thin so it gets by the swelling easier. She gets both a cough and stridor btw.
