A 5 year old with gradually progressive hoarseness of voice over three months and respiratory distrees for 2 weeks
Hoarseness is something when proper VC is involved…
In croup VC not involved and stridor is what is seen in that.
croup is subglottic…hoarseness is not a characteristic feature here
but hoarseness is seen in croup
yeah …it is seen in croup …but not characteristic to croup …answer has to be the nearest one.
Barking cough is very characteristics of croup. No cough is mentioned in the question. So respiratory papillomatosis seems to be in more favour
Barking cough -croup
