Croup In Children

Croup is an illness which causes narrowing of the upper airways.

It mostly affects toddlers.

Croup can start with cold symptoms such as a:

• sore throat
• fever
• runny nose

Tamariki with croup have:

• a barking cough
• trouble breathing
• a type of noisy breathing called stridor

Croup symptoms are often worse at night or when your child is upset.

Croup is often a mild illness but can quickly become serious.

See a health professional urgently if your child:

• has noisy breathing that is getting worse or
• is becoming upset and you can’t calm them

If you are worried, call Healthline on 0800 611 116 or go back to a health professional.

Dial 111 if your child:

• is blue around the mouth or
• is struggling to breathe or
• is hard to wake or
• is floppy or
• is drooling
