Can croup like cough be cough variant asthma? My 7.5 year old son was diagnosed several years ago with CVA. When he has a flare up it look/sounds like croup, only lasts a week, responds to steroids and inhalers. He usually flares up in response to an URI, and triggers once flaring are cold and exercise. Is there anything other than the typical asthma care plan that we should be aware of? Can you tell me if there is a reference I can read/bring to the ER?
