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 common infection that causes swelling in the trachea (windpipe) and larynx (voice box). Croup occurs in children six months to 12 years of age. It is most common in children one to three years of age. Because croup is caused by a virus, it can spread to other children through coughing and sneezing. The virus also is spread by dirty hands, shared toys, and shared drinking glasses or spoons and forks.
