Cough and Croup

Hi ladies. I have a 4 year old who has had a good cold for about a week now. The last 4 nights it has been croupy sounding. This is very normal for his colds ever since he was a baby. We put the humidifier on in his room, rub Vicks on his chest and feet with socks, take him outside to suck in the cool air, run the shower for steam, etc at night but nothing has really seemed to help but time. Last night was terrible for him. Are there any other things out there that people have done that helps the cough? Thanks ladies!
