It has been reported that some patients have been misdiagnosed with Bacterial Tracheitis, when in fact the correct diagnosis in their specific case was Croup.
The main treatment for croup is rest and comforting the child until symptoms resolve. If the symptoms don’t resolve in 3-5 days medications such as steroids and epinephrine are advised. Croup is diagnosed by a paediatrician by listening to the breathing of the child and examining the throat.
