Croup Management

Croup Management

Croup is an infection of the upper airway, which obstructs breathing and causes a characteristic barking cough. The cough and other signs and symptoms of croup are the result of swelling around the voice box (larynx), windpipe (trachea) and bronchial tubes (bronchi). When a cough forces air through this narrowed passageway, the swollen vocal cords produce a noise similar to a seal barking. Likewise, taking a breath often produces a high-pitched whistling sound (stridor).
Croup typically occurs in younger children. Croup usually isn’t serious and most children can be treated at home.

Symptoms of Croup
Croup often begins as a typical cold. If there’s enough inflammation and coughing, a child will develop: Loud barking cough that’s further aggravated by crying and coughing, as well as anxiety and agitation, setting up a cycle of worsening signs and symptoms; like fever, hoarse voice, breathing that may be noisy or labored. Symptoms of croup are usually worsened at night and usually last for three to five days.

If your baby’s symptoms are severe, worsen or last longer than three to five days or aren’t responding to home treatment, contact your family doctor. Seek for an immediate medical attention if your child makes noisy, high-pitched breathing sounds both when inhaling and exhaling, makes high-pitched breathing sounds when not crying or agitated, begins salivating or has difficulty swallowing, seems anxious and agitated or fatigued and listless, breathes at a faster rate than usual, struggles to breathe. Develops blue or grayish skin around the nose, mouth or fingernails (cyanosis).

Causes of Croup
Croup is usually caused by a viral infection, most often a parainfluenza virus. Any child can contract this virus by breathing infected respiratory droplets coughed or sneezed into the air. Virus particles in these droplets may also survive on toys and other surfaces. If your child touches a contaminated surface and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth, an infection may follow.

Risk factors of Croup 
Children between 6 months and 3 years of age, are mostly at risk of getting croup. Because children have small airways, they are most susceptible to having more symptoms with croup. Which can lead to a secondary bacterial infection of the trachea, resulting in troubles breathing and requiring an emergency medical care. Although, just a handful of children seen in the emergency room for croup require hospitalization.

We are also advocating for preventive measures and a high hygiene culture by observing frequent hand-washing, keep your child away from anyone who’s sick, encourage your child to cough or sneeze into his or her elbow. Yes! To band off more-serious infections, and keep your child’s vaccinations current.
