My 4.5 year old has croup, well a croupy bark, again. He doesn't have stridor I don't think, but this is his 5th or 6th time this year having it. The very first time he got croup (at age 1 or so) he got steroids and they worked immediately since then it hasn't been so bad but enough to keep him (and us) up at night and as he has a temperature, off school for a day or two. This is his second time with croup this month. I wouldn't usually worry but I stupidly googled recurring croup and it wasn't reassuring. Anyone with experience of croup like this? He wheezes in and out on breathing and his voice is hoarse plus has a barking cough: it is croup isn't it???
