Okay, I have finally found the paper on croup - have scanned it and cannot get it to copy over - UGH!  So, I will attach it to an email and send it to you...I hope you can open it and read it!  For the rest of you...Croup is a distinctive cough that occurs with infections of the voice box - or larynx.  The cough is tight, low-pitched, and barky (like a barking seal).  The voice of your child will usually be hoarse or raspy when they talk.   This is usually caused by a viral infection of the throat or vocal cords, lasts 3-5 days, and usually worsens at night.  Inhalation of warm mist will make the breathing better and help the stridor (difficulty breathing).  If the cough and difficulty breathing gets worse or does not go away, call your pediatrician!  I hope the handout helps ease your mind, or to copy and take to your pediatrician for reference...;)
