I'm allergic to most cough suppressant medication-- if it has a narcotic (codeine) or narcotic derivative (dextromethorphan), I throw it up almost immediately.

The croup, y'all. Damn. That's a little kid's illness! It's not fair!!!  |
Adult croup is usually considered much more serious than children's croup. Were you really diagnosed with croup?
Either way being so sick you have difficulty breathing and sleeping sucks and I hope you get better soon. If you really have adult croup please take care of yourself.
