hello.
Barking type of coughis diagnosting of croup and is an emergency. You have to immediately check the patency of the airway and treat the baby immediately with oxygen and antibiotics. Also some times immunoglobulins need to be administered if the infection is more. Some times a tracheostomy is also indicated to maintain airway. In case of such emergency consult a ent surgeon who will treat after a good examination and initial stabilisation of the patient. I hope i have answered your query. Take care
