Have Croup Cough. Taking Antibiotics, Steroids, Inhaler. Scared Of Losing Breath
I am an Adult and have the croup cough, yesterday I had to call a locum and are now on antibiotic and steroids plus inhaler, feeling a little better but in all my 65 years of life I have never felt so sick and scared of losing my breath, when I see the picture of the little child I am feeling for her so much. Certainly hope this helps me to get back to normal. It is almost as if I am too scared to breath.

Hi,
From your history it seems that you are having acute infection either viral or bacterial.
Continue with medicines and inhaler.
If require go for x-ray chest and complete blood check up.
Rule out COPD after consulting physician.
Do deep breathing exercise.
Ok and take care.
