HI
How long did your DC's croup last?
HOw long for the stridor/seal cough and how long for the cough afterwards?
What was the course of the illness?
My DS got a temp last Sat and nothing else.
Sunday he got hoarse and stridor/cough at nigh
Monday was worse and tuesday we ended up at the Dr's office and ER fro breathing difficulties
He was given steroid for a couple of days.
Since Wednesday his cough turned into a chesty cough like the one you would get from an upper respiratory infection- loose phlegmy and he sounds congested and sometimes is out of breath/breaths a little heavy when he runs etc. He is however active and wants to run play, etc.
Does this progression make sense?
Dr suggested if he's not better by Monday it may be bacterial and take antibiotics. This is further complicated by the fact that my husband has been under the weather and I feel I may have some bug as well. I have been feeling run down with a bit of sore throat. Last night I woke up at 2am with a very sore throat!!!!
Could he also have another virus as well-a cold or whatever I have?
Any insights?
Don't want him to take antibiotics if he doesn't need them!!!!
