It sounds like a seal barking…y’know, that really common everyday noise we’re all familiar with? The croup cough is one of the most recognisable sounds you’ll hear in emergency medicine. Doctors will often prescribe treatment based on the noise of the cough coming from the triage bay. Excuse my bleary eyed explanation but don’t be afraid to ask questions about croup in the comments. #croup #paediatrics #medicine #emergencymedicine | Dr Ash Bowden
