I'm pretty sure we established this was croup after the OP followed up...maybe some poor wording on the description of the sound.

I would have to agree wording is inaccurate having had a child with croup you don't EVER forget the sound, it is rough and harsh however based on the description I am surprised more people did not say pertussis (whooping cough) which is often mistaken as croup…. Just glad the child is ok….. however my treatment would have stood fast as this child was in distress with sats as low as they were

Since you're here Robb... Do you see alot (or any) epiglottis? In the cases you have seen, are the patients UTD on the recommended vaccination schedule?

I totally missed this, was looking for scenarios for my trainee and found it.

All the epiglotitis patients I've had have been in their 20s or 70s. Not super common but I've had a few.
