baby with Croup Stridor Barking Cough visual & audio sound

my 2 year old daughter at rest in bed with Croup - presenting with barking cough, stridor and distressed breathing and depressions in the chest.
These all together at rest are indications for you to seek medical attention for your child.

Croup (laryngotracheobronchitis) is an inflammation of the windpipe (trachea) and voice box (larynx) typically caused by a contagious viral infection that causes cough, a loud squeaking noise (stridor), and sometimes difficulty with breathing in (inspiration).

Croup is caused by viruses.
Symptoms include fever, runny nose, and a typical bark-like cough.
The diagnosis is based on symptoms.
Most children recover at home, but those who require hospitalization receive fluids, oxygen, and drugs.

I'm a medical student who's seen croup several times while on my shifts in A&E, but despite that it's really helpful to hear the stridor again (revising for my finals). Thank you for the upload. I imagine that many of my colleagues would find this really helpful.

Thank you for sharing this! My son has been coughing horribly and I was concerned about croup. This video has shown me what to watch for and what exactly it looks and sounds like.
