Croup
Croup is a respiratory infection common in childhood that inflames the upper airway, especially the larynx and trachea. It is recognized by a distinctive cough, similar to a bark.
Common symptoms:
- Dry cough with a sound similar to a bark
- Hoarse voice and, at times, noisy breathing
- Symptoms that tend to worsen at night
When to see a doctor? If the child has difficulty breathing, marked noise when inhaling, or a bluish color, immediate care is needed.
Which specialist treats it? Croup is evaluated by the pediatrician, and in respiratory cases by the pediatric pulmonologist, with support from emergency services when there is breathing difficulty. If you have questions about your child's breathing, the most prudent thing is to consult promptly.
