adult croup

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

any advice please?

Usually "Stridor" in Adults.

Is this due to a Cold/Cough etc?

Are they Asthmatic?

Does the moist steamy atmosphere help at all?

tis called laryngitis going on what my doc told me, and remedies are the same as for children with croup.....steaming.

Any drooling? Unable to talk?

Most croup is caused by viruses, The symptoms of croup generally peak 2 to 3 days after the symptoms of infection start. Croup resulting from viral infection usually lasts less 3 to 7 days.

Have just got back from out of hours - been given a salbutamol inhaler which is helping loads now as long as I don't move, talk or lie down - feel utterly and totally wiped out, even sitting up moving my fingers feels exhausting. so am going back to bed in a minute. am not ashtmatic thank goodness. Had a sore throat early in week then started with laryngitis a bit on thurs but really hit this morning.
don't remember feeling this rubbish in a v v long time.

am not drooling cannot talk - too hoarse and too out of breath.

Are you able to swallow?

Oh, that's good (that you are not drooling).

oh good - am prob at peak then. hot bath made me woozy which was when dh decided to phone. have to say feel about a million times better breathing wise now.

That's good

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Thank you
At least I get out of taking dd to her 9am horse riding lesson!
