Croup

Croup is a common childhood disease that's known for its bark-like cough. It's usually accompanied by a whistle-like sound during breathing. While croup isn't considered serious, it's important to monitor it. Under normal conditions, the symptoms should go away after three to five days.6‘Croup - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 11 Apr. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/croup/symptoms-causes/syc-20350348#

More serious symptoms that may require medical attention include drooling, the high-pitched whistling sound during unlabored breathing, and difficulty breathing. It's also important to look out for cyanosis around the nose, mouth, and fingertips.
