Croup

I think my baby has croup. He’s had a cold for a few days so I’m unsure if it’s just part of that. He’s sleeping and breathing fine. He’s not drinking so I’m worried about dehydration. He should wake soon, will try to feed him and then call 111. Anyone experienced this? Do they give anything for it?

It may not be croup then 🤞🏻 but you know if your child isn’t right, always best to get checked and find out they’re fine than to not and they get poorly x

Thank you. Have phoned 111 and waiting for a call back from out of hours gp. He’s been fine since being up this morning. First time mum and think I panicked! But will see what they say x

@Hannah thank you. He’s fed since waking and hardly coughed?!

Is he barking when he coughs? I think that’s the main sign! But of course if you’re concerned 111 is the way to go! Trust your gut! This is the NHS info for croup, hope he’s okay and better soon x https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/croup/
