  • Title: Croup.
    Author: Madden V.
    Journal: Prof Care Mother Child; 1997; 7(4):93-4. PubMed ID: 9348966.
    Abstract:
    As many as 3% of children under six years of age are affected by croup, usually at two to three years. Symptoms include a barking cough and inspiratory stridor. The preceding infection of the larynx is usually viral; bacterial infection can complicate the condition. Mist inhalation has been the traditional treatment. Dexamethasone and now budesonide may be used as first-line treatment.
