Learn to recognize the sounds that kids make when they are sick, such as the barking cough of croup, stridor and wheezing.

Stridor

Listen to stridor, the sound that kids make when they have croup or another cause of airway obstruction. It is a harsh sound that the child makes when breathing in and it is a sign that your child is having difficulty breathing and needs medical attention.
