Thank you for your informative post this week on croup. According to Huether and McCance (2017), croup is due to an infection that causes swelling and inflammation of the upper airway and laryngeal mucosa resulting in narrowing in the subglottic area. Croup is a virus that makes the airway swell and is known by a telltale “barking” cough and a raspy voice, and makes a high-pitched, squeaky noise when they breathe (stridor) (KidsHealth, 2017). Therefore, the narrowing is what alters the sound of a cough. Croup is preceded by 24 to 72 hours of coughing, rhinorrhea, and fever with acute onset of a bark sounding cough (Huether and McCance, 2017). The factor I selected was age, age is a factor in Croup as well. The most prevalent age range that croup affects is those children between the ages of 6 months to 5 years (Huether & McCance, 2017).

Thank you for your response this week. Your post was very informative and covered important information regarding bronchitis. Bronchitis is a top condition for which patients seek medical assistance. Although it may be suspected in individuals with an acute respiratory infection with cough; however, it is important to consider other diagnosis to be sure and exclude other possibilities that can possibly be associated with a lower respiratory tract infection that results from a persistent cough. Bronchitis is diagnosed based on a history of symptoms, physical examination, chest imaging, pulmonary function tests, and blood gas analyses (Huether & McCance, 2017). Common cause of cough are upper respiratory tract infections such as a common cough and influenza, or lung infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, pharyngitis or bronchitis (Mayo Clinic, 2018: 2024 – Write My Essay For Me | Essay Writing Service For Your Papers Online).
