I have 14 month old twins. They've just gotten over a cold (noses stopped running a couple of days ago). All fine today but since they've gone to bed one has started with a barking cough and noisy breathing that sounds awful. I've checked and no signs of having difficulty breathing (went through bronchiolitis and whooping cough exactly a year ago).
Sounds to me like croup but honestly I have no idea what I'm talking about - as long as he's breathing freely (if noisily) can I just call out of hours in the morning or do I need to get him seen now? No temp or anything. Can they have a barking cough that's not croup? It sounds pretty severe.
Just a bit paranoid after a long HDU stay last year which has left me a bit shaken still now.
