Can you die from a croup cough?

Yes your throat can constrict and you can't breath correctly. It is a serious ilness.

nope

Only if the top of your head blows off...

You can if it is aggravated by asthma or severe bronchitis.

haha.. probably not.. unless you have some kind of bad sickness that is causing it.

if it turns into pneumonia, yes...

Whooping cough they used to...

No, but you sure can feel like your going to. It is possible to bruise and crack ribs while coughing. If it hurts while you cough, use your arms to "hug yourself" gently. Perhaps you won't become quite so bruised.

Yes. You can die from any respiratory problem...IF the right combination of events occur. It is extremely rare, but it has happened.

The vast majority of children recover from croup with no complications. Rarely, some children will develop complications such as ear infection or pneumonia.

Children who were born prematurely or who have a history of lung disease (such as asthma) are more likely to develop severe symptoms of croup and may require hospitalization. Croup rarely causes any long-term complications.

Yes, although most people recover with rest, warm or cool humdifier. Severe cases may be treated with oral corticosteroids. There are liquid syrups for children and at most pharmacies it can be flavored. Acetaminophen for fever, aches and pains.

The cough itself, no. But anything which can cause a deep cough like that can be dangerous. It would be difficult to give a more detailed estimate without knowing the causative agent.

Croup is a viral infection of the throat (upper airway). The virus causes swelling of the voice box (larynx) and windpipe (trachea). This swelling makes the airway more narrow, so it is harder to breathe.

Croup often begins like a normal cold followed by a harsh, barking cough, described as "croupy". This often happens at night when the air is cooler.

It usually affects children up to 5 years old. Some children get croup many times. There is no way to prevent croup as it is caused by different viruses. There is no immunisation against croup.

Croup can get worse quickly. If your child is having problems breathing they should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible - it can get so bad it blocks the airways and death can occur.

yes your airway can constrict causing no air in or out of the lungs.
