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.
Younger children are more affected by croup because their airways are smaller. Therefore, a small amount of swelling can make it really hard for a child to breathe. Croup is most commonly seen in children 3 months old to 5 years. The peak time for croup to occur is 2 years old.
