Bell’s Palsy…steroids! steroids! steroids!

From a recent Cochrane review, the available moderate- to high-quality evidence from randomised controlled trials showed significant benefit from treating Bell’s palsy with corticosteroids. Only 1 in 10 patients treated with corticosteroids will not recover fully (95% CI 6 to 20).

Severe croup…

Try to KEEP THE CHILD CALM. Provide 5ml nebulized epinephrine (1:1000 concentration) and Steroids (PO is the way to go. However, in severe croup, use IM, or IV if available)
