A grandmother and two teenagers survived an apparent murder-suicide that left a husband and wife dead inside a home in Aldie, Va., the Loundoun County Sheriff's Office said.
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.
It causes the voice box (larynx) and airway to the lungs (trachea) to swell, making it difficult to breathe. The result is a distinctive, bark-like cough. In adults, itâs called laryngitis. Croup usually affects children aged between six months and three years, although it can occur in older children (NHS 2012). Itâs normally caused by a virus, so your baby could get it a couple of times or more during childhood (NHS 2012, Tidy 2012).
