I know this is a bit late - but I have. DD had croup a couple of months ago. When I took her to the doc (during the day) they said that since it doesn't seem too bad they wouldn't prescribe any. They obviously didn't consider how bad it got at night though! We had the vapouriser going at night.....I think it helped.....we would just go in a pick her up and give her cuddles when she started coughing, the upright position seemed to help...
