Hi! My 3yo daughter got diagnosed with croup 4 days ago. She s been running a low fever on and off, she coughs (even after being on steroids for 3 days) and now complains about sudden pain in her eyes. Is this normal? It s been 4 days and she doesn t seem to improve. Please advise. Thank you!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of fever, cough and eye pain while having croup which is due to persistence of respiratory tract infection which is getting chronic. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician without any delay , because sometimes infection can spread to surrounding . Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test or virus culture test. You should go for pulmonary function tests as well to find out exact extent of infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants and mucolytic agents . i would suggest to take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief , avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods , use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
