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.

More severe cases are due to difficulty breathing caused by swelling in the upper part of the windpipe. 11. 85% of children examined at the emergency room have mild croup.iral croup is the most common type and is caused by viruses, such as adenoviruses (cold viruses) and influenza (flu) viruses. Viral croup (laryngotracheitis) and recurrent croup (spasmodic) are difficult to distinguish between clinically as both can be associated with viral infections and are similar in appearance.
