I'm suspecting A (14w) may have croup. She's been stuffy/junky (like she's sputtering on mucous) for about a week, off and on. This weekend she developed a cough that started out fine, but now it sounds pretty croup-y. It's not affecting her sleep, and she's not having any trouble breathing, and she hasn't had a fever. She's not coughing much, but when she does, it sounds like the tell-tale croup cough. And she sounds hoarse when she cries.
Last year I suspected D had croup and when I called the ped, they told me that it's a virus and will just run it's course, so I didn't even bother taking him in. I've been doing the same with A, just watching her to see if the symptoms escalate at all. So far, nothing and I think she sounded slightly better this morning.
Should I continue to wait it out, or should I call and have her checked out? Like I said, no fever, no trouble breathing, and other than a 4am wake-up this morning, she has been STTN like always!
