message: "Hospitalization is rarely required." Really? Hospitalization is frequently required for the croup cases I see in the ED. What is meant by "rarely," and based upon what data?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.139.11 (talk) 00:30, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says that "Croup can be prevented by immunization for influenza and diphtheria."  However, it also says that "75% of cases are caused by parainfluenza virus", and the Human parainfluenza viruses page says that no vaccines currently exist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ljosa (talk • contribs) 11:45, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I think it would be worthwhile to mention the research which indicates that emotional, physical, and mental well-being contribute greatly to health. I recall a college course that mentioned a study where they injected the participants with some sickness but not all got sick because some had good relationships, ate well, slept well, etc. Lifestyle health is the long-term solution to these diseases and sicknesses.

thread_title:  Prevention 

message: We generally use the modern meaning of words. The current meaning of croup is for a viral infection. Yes many years ago the terms were used in a slightly different way and this article addresses that in Croup#History. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:26, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Terminology

message: A folk treatment is known, when the child is briefly immersed in very cold water then, without delay, intensely rubbed (with a towel or like that), dressed in comfortably warm clothes and placed in a comfortably warm room. I don't know, whether it is a sham treatment or an effective one (but, probably, a dangerous), but it should be covered anyway. Эйхер (talk) 11:40, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

message: Am I missing something or does the article strongly imply that this is a "children's illness" that only concerns pediatrics? 74.196.235.209 (talk) 13:00, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not common in adults.  It is most common in young children (babies and toddlers). WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:02, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is the reason for that known? Surely adults are able to be infected with the viruses and bacteria that cause croup. Do adults simply present with different symptoms than the hoarse cough associated with croup? —Mahāgaja · talk 13:59, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Mahagaja, I understand that the characteristic cough depends on the size of the airway (when it's swollen).  The smaller your airway, the less swelling it takes to become really narrow.  The bigger your airway (e.g., a typical adult) the less likely you are to reach that point.
