My son is 9 months old had croup a couple of days ago and yhis morning woke up coughing and sweating. While he would cough he would cry and than i held him and he went back to sleep. He woke up and seems ok now but Im worried that it maybe something else wrong ie pneumonia or bronchitis. Can you please help.
Hello, I understand your concern. I would like to know if he has any other symptoms such as fever or fast breathing? My suggestion is that you count the number of breaths he is taking in a minute (watch his chest movement up and down for a full minute). If it is more than 50/minute, I suggest you take him to a pediatrician who can listen to his chest for wheezing or other sounds. Watch for the following
