Croup

[bettydoc]

Is it normal for babies to throw up when they have croup?

Not in my experience.

I don't know about croup, but I can remember DS chucking up a small amount when he had a coughing fit just after a feed.

If you have a child with symptoms which are causing you enough concern to post here, I suggest you also contact your OOH doctor for specific advice.

I think if there's a lot of snot (tmi) going down the throat it can make them sick.

Coughing quite hard can make you sick, so croup per se doesn't make you vomit, but the side affects of it will - iyswim.

Both of mine are sick when they cough, dd2 had croup really bad when she was 2 and was being sick, i started to think she had whooping cough as i could remember having it as a child and being very sick, luckily whooping cough is vert rare these days but croup can be very nasty. Hope he feels better soon xx
