Croup is a condition that develops quickly in children and is usually caused by a viral infection in the upper airways, which is localised in the throat and surrounding tissues. It's characterised by a barking cough. It's fairly uncommon and affects more boys than girls.
However, depending on the type of catheter you had installed (a urethral or a suprapubic catheter), you may still experience some catheter pain, especially in the case of an indwelling catheter that is expected to stay in your bladder for awhile â usually from a few days all the way up to forever.
Other complications from using a urinary catheter include: 1  allergic reaction to the material used in the catheter, such as latex. 2  bladder stones. 3  blood in the urine. 4  injury to the urethra. 5  kidney damage (with long-term indwelling catheters). 6  infection of the urinary tract, kidney, or blood (septicemia).
