  • This condition is commonly seen in winter months.  Croup usually affects the children under the age of 5.

  • This condition may also be caused by allergies, exposure to irritants, or bacterial infections. But these cases are rare.

  • In extreme cases, a breathing tube may be used in child that will help child to get enough oxygen. If croup is caused by any kind of bacterial infection then antibiotics are administered in the hospital and prescribed for later use. Dehydrated patients may require intravenous fluids.

What to Expect in the Long Term?

  • Generally croup that is caused by a virus infection goes away on its own within one week.
  • In Bacterial croup antibiotic treatment is done. The duration of the antibiotic therapy depend upon the severity of the symptoms and infection. Complications are not commonly seen in patients.

  • So make sure that both you and your child receive get vaccinated to protect against these kind of serious infections.
