Just remember, Asthma and croup are not the same thing. The cold air can trigger an asthma attack for some folks. Asthma is caused by airway constriction. I think that it triggers attacks for some folks because cold constricts or shrinks.[/quote]

Yes. She'll have to try one thing and then another, still has her inhalers that lives in her purse and in the house, just in case.
Still, the coffee thing still works a little for her even now. Being a teacher has her exposed to many germs and viruses that most folks can avoid, unfortunately. She's willing to try almost anything, even my old hill remedies.

Coffee was our first line of defense, no milk, just a little sugar. It seemed to help, as did chamomile and comfrey tea my Grandma suggested. Daughter's now 51, still has Asthma, I'll suggest she try the freezer bit when she has an attack.

My son turned 30 this year and had very bad croup and asthma as a baby. When he started whezzing I always took him outside. I think his Dr.told me to do that back then already. Hope your little guy gets well soon.
