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.
The hallmark sign of croup is a harsh, barking cough. This cough may be preceded by one to three days of symptoms that resemble a slight cold. A croupy cough is often accompanied by a runny nose, hoarseness, and a low fever.
