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.
I donât remove PleuRx catheters, but I believe that itâs just removed by being pulled out by a pulmonologist or surgeon, without anesthesia or much pain (perhaps some transient discomfort, but no patient of mine has ever commented on the experience after having it removed. I donât think itâs a very big deal.
