Croup relapse?

My niece had croup, she endeed up giving it to my daughter. I wanted to know if my niece can get the same germ that she gave my daughter again?

OK so I'm disregarding that first one. Croup is contagious, it usually happens a few days after a cold, it is caused by a parainfluenza virus. It effect Children usualy up to age 5.

Please dont answer if you dont know about it.

croup isn't contagious. it's like pneumonia. you get it when your body is run down.
