Study tests pill vs. shot for Kids' croup cough

NCT ID NCT06959407

Summary

This study compared two ways of giving a common steroid medicine (dexamethasone) to children with mild to moderate croup. It looked at whether taking the medicine by mouth works as well as getting it by injection to settle symptoms like the barking cough and noisy breathing. The goal was to gather local evidence to help doctors choose the best treatment for kids not sick enough to be in the hospital.
