[quote=Anonymous]Dovetailing on the other croup thread, I have heard from several doctors and nurses "some kids just get recurrent croup" and that nothing is particularly causing this. I have yet to hear from another parent that this is their child. Most threads have the answer being allergies or asthma. My 15 months old has had 4 bouts of croup in her life. Every runny nose she has had has turned into croup, except for one. After 24 hours of a runny nose, the croupy cough and stridor will start that night. We have a prescription for steroids and usually one or two doses is all she needs. Because I have noticed no other symptoms, and she is very healthy otherwise (no wheezing), I am wondering if she is just "one of those kids who get croup a lot." I was wondering if anyone else had further testing and were just told that, too.[/quote]
