6 doctors agreed: Croup: Croup is usually self-limiting, lasting 5-7 days, but as with any other respiratory infections, cough is usually the last symptom to go away. Postinfectious cough can last up to several weeks, and it can trigger brochospasm especially if the child has asthma.
1 Viral croup always includes other signs of a cold, such as a runny nose, fever, and fatigue. The virus goes away within 3 to 7 days after it began.  Spasmodic croup may happen in a child with a mild cold. The barking cough usually begins at night and isn't accompanied by fever.
