5Cold Symptoms
Croup often starts as a cold in the first few days after the virus penetrates the body. This is more common in children as their immune system is typically weaker than an adult’s. Some typical signs of a cold include a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, as well as fatigue. These symptoms can last around 3 to 5 days. It can be hard to diagnose croup with these cold symptoms since they are very common. Make sure to notice other issues mentioned above to ensure a more accurate diagnosis. [5]
