Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Croup like cough is barking type of very loud, irritable cough.
It is mostly seen with Tracheal pathologies like Tracheomalacia, Tracheal obstructive lesions like mass or cyst or nodule.
So better to get done bronchoscopy for evaluation of Tracheal diseases.
If this is normal then no need to worry much.
But if any of the above mentioned disease is found then surgical correction is needed.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
