10 Symptoms of Croup
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Red Throat
Whenever you make a visit to a doctor, they are likely to want to give you a quick look over to check for symptoms. This usually includes having a look inside the mouth to look for tell-tale signs of illnesses. One thing the doctor is likely to be looking for is the color and condition of the back of the throat.
One common symptom of croup is that the back of the throat will appear to be red and swollen. When such symptoms are apparent, it is also likely to be quite clear that the throat is sore for the child. Medications are available that will help to soothe the symptoms.
