10. Recovery From Croup
Most children with croup make a full recovery at home. A parent may want to sleep near their child and stay with them during the day to monitor the illness.4‘Croup.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 11 Apr. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/croup/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20350354. Typically croup symptoms start a few days after exposure, last for up to a week and vary in severity, worsening at night.
Children with croup need to stay home from school and other activities while they're having symptoms, but once they feel better, they can usually resume their usual routines.2‘Home Treatments For Croup That Will Help Your Child’s Barking Cough.’ University of Utah Health, healthcare.utah.edu/the-scope/shows.php’shows=0/bo3b8lay.
