After you have a child that has had this cough, your ears perk up anytime you hear it. No mistaking it for something else. Thank you for the clear and concise explanation.
Spot on, both my kids are prone to this. My youngest got admitted to the hospital last year. My oldest has croup right as I type this ... I utterly hate this and what's worse is the sense of being powerless to help. Luckily he has a Dr. Appointment tomorrow. It'll be a loooooong night.
My little one had it so much! I can pick it up so fast. He’s had steroid shots in his legs and nebulizers. We had to rush to the ER many times. Thankfully he’s outgrown it. He gets it still but I deal with it at home.
We are going on day 5 of this cough. I’m finally taking him to the doctor in an hour. Thank you for posting actual sounds. I found this incredibly helpful.
Hey my son has a same cough to this sounds kind a deep barking cough I’m not sure if it’s croup it sounds like but doctors keep telling me his chest sounds clear and that it’s viral but I’m not convinced it is as his cough is a barking one and it’s been a week now and his cough is getting worse not better it’s worse at night time too as he’s constantly coughing when sleeping and wakes up in the night, he’s 7 years old, and when he’s awake he’s coughing too the same cough it’s like all the time he’s coughing barking shall I say, what can I do 😥
@@arunchacko6177 @amy white same with my 5 year old son. He has dry cough like old people and gets worse at nights. Last year also during winters he had similar problems.. Any idea what soothens it?
Super educational! It’s scary for parents when their little ones have croup so having access to accurate information with demonstrations is so important !
thank you for the actual sounds of this cough. i have been told of a seal bark but honestly have never been that close to a seal to have an idea what that would sound like. thank you
Thank you for this. My daughter has cough 4 days now and I wasn't sure if it was croup. We have the symptoms and now listening to this. It's exactly how she sounds
Thanks for such a concise, yet detailed explanation and as others said, providing the sound of croup. Appreciate giving us the time frame and when to take further action too. Thanks!
My friend called me yesterday to tell me that his son almost died, and it was called croup. He told me to watch my son carefully at night because it's happening a lot lately. Last night my son started doing this exact cough. I can't believe the timing of it. It's unreal. Thanks for this video
Thank you for your videos. Often parents read symptoms and have absolutely no idea what that really means in practice. Having the examples makes all the difference.
Thank you for your explanation, and for including sound clips - that's been so helpful, and I can be fairly certain that my 2yo has croup now and also feel more confident in how to manage it at home rather than calling the GP unless necessary. Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!! Please check out the links too in the description box for lots more useful tips and information. I also created this video on tips for managing croup: ruclips.net/video/WU3v8hJF7X8/видео.html
I know what this is, although she’s my granddaughter it’s quite annoying sleepless nights for sure. Thank you so much for your video third time to the doctor.
your presentation and overview of croup is easily understood and help. multiple examples of croup you had is helpful too to see the range. much appreciated!
Really pleased I found your page, I'm torn between my daughter having a 'normal' cough and croup. It's good to hear this, I can have a good listen now 😌
Very glad you have found it useful . I hope your daughter is ok. I also have another 2 videos on my page with sounds of bronchiolitis and stridor which might be worth listening to. Thanks again for the comment.
It’s a pleasure and thank you for such a nice comment. I have made some other videos on a similar theme (sounds of stridor and bronchiolitis) which you might want to also check out!
Thank you. My daughter was just diagnosed with this and I didn't believe the doctor because she looked and listened for like 2 mins but the examples that I listen to in this video did sound similar. So again thank you for helping put my mind at ease.
When I took my one year old daughter to emergency she got completely distracted by the car ride, stopped crying, stopped coughing. I felt like such an idiot walking in because she wasn't coughing at all and looked totally fine. Then when I was explaining to the triage nurse what had happened, my daughter gave one cough. That was all it took for the nurse to know it was croup.
This has been very informative.... what i want to know is which PRECAUTION would a CROUP patient be placed under if hospitalized: 1. Contact Precaution 2. Droplet Precaution 3. Airbone Precaution.
According to CDC it would be Contact + Standard. See this resource for more information: www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/guidelines/isolation/appendix/type-duration-precautions.html#respiratory-infections
My boy has croup for around 6 times now (he's seven) but I still had to double check with this video, its so scary and makes you feel totally helpless, im sat here listening to his laboured breathing right now and I cringe each time he coughs bless him
Hey Toby let me just say I’m 20 and I still get the croup everytime I’m sick. It’s an infection of the voice box. Of course keep a close eye on it but let me just say I’ve been dealing with it my whole life and have never had to be hospitalized for it and I already had breathing problems with asthma. It sounds much worse than it usually is. For me it hurts my chest but it’s more of an inconvenience than a threat after all this time.
Thanks for sharing this info as croups just landed in my household and brough in from school. Glad to say I will know how to monitor in from here forward.
I've never heard a barking seal (have a good idea what it is though) so the internet explanations weren't helping too much. This video helped me to better help my kiddo. Thank you.
Glad the video was informative. If you have any concerns please see the links in the description box of this video which contain information on warning signs that your child might be becoming more unwell and may need medical assessment.
After watching this very informative video, my guess of croup seems to be correct for my 4 year old Granddaughter. Docs won't see her so we have a video call later today but they are also talking about having a PCR test. We did a LF last night but that was negative so we shall see.
@@DrODonovan Thank you so much, the GP has prescribed Penicillin for 9 days. However, I understand that croup is a virus and antibiotics are ineffective so I'm a bit confused about that. My daughter is going to get her into a hot steamy bathroom
We are also on week three of this cough. After antibiotics and steroids from the first doctor visit she still developed a touch of pneumonia and needed more antibiotics at the second doctor visit. We are day 4/5 with our 2nd round of antibiotics and she is still has this cough with phlegm. I could cry from panic.
Thank you for posting examples of croup cough! I'm pretty sure my 3 year old has it as his cough sounds exactly like that and he has a very hoarse voice. Still his active self so fingers crossed he will be able to fight it on his own. You have yourself a new subscriber, very insightful video.
Hi and thank you for the comment. I hope your son is getting better. I’ve included extra links for parents in the description box which might be helpful too. Thank you also for subscribing. I’ve got a child health playlist on my channel and will be adding new videos to it in the next few months so hope they are also useful! Best wishes again.
Hey I have a almost 4 year old and she just started coughing and choking on fleim in her throat and she started throwing it up but she couldn’t catch her breathe for a minute her voice has been hoarse all day too and now her cough sounds crazy like a dog toy idk what to do, now she’s wheezing really bad
Our 1 year old has a barking cough. Her 2.5 year old sister has more of a chest congestion cough. The video helped my husband better understand the difference between the two girls and their coughs. Thanks for breaking it down. The info you provide is definitely reassuring. At this time the little one isn’t experiencing labored breathing or high pitch weezing. Mainly just the barking cough and other cold symptoms.
Thank you so much for this! My 4 year old is always getting chest infection type symptoms this time was different. She's very lethargic has the croup cough. It's definitely worse at night. Last time she had a chest infection she ended up in hopsital for a couple of days nost she spent on iv fluids and nebulizer. Last night after coughing she's got shortness of breath. Very informative video I'll try get her into doctors tomorrow
have you checked to see if she has genetic markers for auto-immunity? I am an adult but only learned a few years back after getting an injury to my eye that caused severe inflammation that was impairing my vision and not improving. I was given anti-inflammatory medication for my eye and they did a blood test and found that i have certain DNA that makes my immune system more prone to inflammation and also auto-immunity. I had symptoms of this as a child which included much respiratory trouble including asthma and shortness of breath.. I believe it also caused trouble in similar inflammation of the middle ear sinuses and the eustachian tube etc. For me, not knowing the cause, I was told i had allergies or rheumatism., but with not really know how to improve my health or keep my health well. For me I am pretty sure consuming dairy products was a major contributing factor for increasing my likelihood of having an inflammation or auto-immunity outbreak. Oddly, I remember eating a particular brand of packaged ketchup that could almost instantly cause me to have shortness of breath and tightening or restrictions in my respiratory system.
Came here because my 3 yr old woke up with this cough. I've bumped up her vitamin C, giving her some herbals and honey and lots of warm fluids. Hoping we are not one of the ones who need to go into hospital. Praying for the little bubs who did have to. The world has changed and sickness seems to be consuming everybody.
Disease has always consumed the human race. It's the nature of being alive. We're are surrounded by germs and viruses and parasites and it has ALWAYS been this way, in fact we are way way better at handling it now than we ever have been.
My 3 year old son developed this over the weekend, ended up being blue lighted to hospital. It was scary how rapidly he went down hill. Just home tonight after a 3 night stay in hospital.
I've dealt with this kinda cough my entire life when I get a upper respiratory infection and I'm now 52. I'm still dealing with this current infection that's been going on for 2+ months.
I’m 20 and I still have croup too! Doctors have never been able to help me because it usually goes away on its own in children, so they have no fix for adults. I just want to live normally!
Thanks for this. After hearing it, it's definitely what my daughter has. Can't get her into the doctor until tomorrow afternoon, so this was very helpful.
I watched this video went to the ER and we just came back and got settled in and it was croup they gave him steroids and said to come back if symptoms get worse. This video was extremely helpful. At first I thought it was whooping cough but it wasn’t. So that’s good
Thanks for the video, it’s definitely croup cough. I was super nervous about her breathing last night, when she went to bed she was completely fine. This was sudden and she has no other symptoms.
This happened to my son. He went to bed feeling well. Middle of the night I heard a few coughs, went to check on him and decided to lay in with him. He had a full blow airway issue, had to call an ambulance. Very scary stuff. I was shocked how quickly it came on.
@@danielleopk7654 happened to my 3 y/o aswell. No other symptoms other than sudden breathing difficulties with croup sound. No coughing either. So scary
It sounds like an asthmatic cough in a way. My daughter has had a cough for 3 days now. But the short cough sounds like a seal bark. If it doesn't get better, we're going to her doctor. Thank you for the different sounds in cough.
Thank you, this was very informative. My daughter is off to the GP, as shes coughing to much she's vomiting and cant always catch her breath. Its pretty scary, but good to know it will pass
I Watch this video every time my little one have croup it reminds me to be alert my little one have croup almost every seasonal and it gets worse and night thank you so much this video helped me so much time
No problem Safia- I’m very glad it helped. I also made another video on the channel recently on croup management at home which you should check out ! ruclips.net/video/WU3v8hJF7X8/видео.html
The sounds are at 2:20. For anyone like me who wanted to come hear the sounds real quick.
You are the hero here thank you ❤
I do what I can lol

This happened to my son. He went to bed feeling well. Middle of the night I heard a few coughs, went to check on him and decided to lay in with him. He had a full blow airway issue, had to call an ambulance. Very scary stuff. I was shocked how quickly it came on.
@@danielleopk7654 happened to my 3 y/o aswell. No other symptoms other than sudden breathing difficulties with croup sound. No coughing either. So scary
As a nurse, this was excellent.
So glad you liked it
It sounds like an asthmatic cough in a way. My daughter has had a cough for 3 days now. But the short cough sounds like a seal bark. If it doesn't get better, we're going to her doctor. Thank you for the different sounds in cough.
Thanks - yes if you have any concerns please go see your doctor
The sounds were extremely helpful!
I’m glad. Thanks for the feedback
