8. When Is It Wise to Call a Doctor?
Parents who suspect their child has croup should call their regular pediatrician, even if the symptoms are mild. A doctor can make sure the illness is croup and not something more serious and give parents specific advice or medicine for their child.
If symptoms don't improve or become worse, it's a good idea to call a doctor for advice. If parents are worried or feel like something's wrong, a doctor can help them decide when a child needs medical attention.5NHS Choices, NHS, www.nhs.uk/conditions/croup/.
