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.
Croup is a condition that causes swelling and irritation of the upper airways â the voice box (larynx) and windpipe (trachea). Itâs caused by the same viruses that cause the common cold. Kids with croup have a âbarkyâ cough or hoarseness, especially when crying. Croup is most common in kids 6 months to 3 years old, but some older children also get croup. Most cases happen in the fall and early winter.
