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, also known as laryngotracheobronchitis, is a type of respiratory infection that is usually caused by a virus.[1] The infection leads to swelling inside the trachea, which interferes with normal breathing and produces the classic symptoms of barking cough, stridor, and a hoarse voice. Fever and runny nose may also be present. These symptoms may be mild, moderate, or severe. Often it starts or is worse at night. It normally lasts one to two days.
