Croup

Croup is an infection that affects the voice box and the airway to the lungs. Croup is normally caused by a viral infection that can be caught by droplets of the virus being in the air. It affects children, and is characterised by a barklike cough

Croup causes the airways to swell which can make it very difficult to breathe. Occasionally, the airways may swell so much that emergency treatment is needed. The initial symptoms of croup are very similar to having a cold.

If your child has croup, they may have:
A runny nose
A sore throat
A mild fever, and they may also
Feel run down

Most cases of croup do not need to be treated because they tend to get better after a week or two. However, it can be an irritating and occasionally distressing condition if it affects the breathing. Talk to your pharmacist today for more information in treatment of croup.
