What is Croup?

[maddy01]

Hi

The duration of the croup is typically five to six days. It usually worsens at night, and the symptoms peak at about the second or third night. Croup may begin unexpectedly without warning or may develop from an innocent common cold. The virus that causes croup is just as contagious as the common cold, so frequent hand washing is a good idea to help prevent it from spreading.

Thanks

Croup is an infection of the tissues around the vocal cords in young children. It causes a characteristic barking cough. The symptoms of croup are caused by the swelling and inflammation of the tissues around the larynx and vocal cords. The diameter of the upper airway in young children is narrow to begin with, so this swelling further reduces the size of the airway. This makes breathing noisier and more labored.

When a virus that can cause croup moves through a community, only some children will develop croup. Most children will have symptoms of a cold or laryngitis, such as congestion, cough, hoarseness, or sore throat.
