Ausmed Explains... 1. Stridor: Stridor is a continuous, high-pitched, crowing sound heard predominantly on inspiration. The cause of this sound is generally the partial obstruction of the larynx or trachea. Stridor may be heard in conditions such as croup and foreign body obstruction. It’s typically loudest over the anterior neck, as air moves turbulently over a partially-obstructed, upper airway. 2. Wheeze: The sound of a wheeze is a high-pitched, continuous musical sound. This is caused by air

Croup can cause difficulty breathing, gasping, barky cough and stridor. It’s usually caused by a viral infection and almost always pops up in the middle of the night! #croup #sick #virus #emergency #cough #parents Disclaimer: For educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be regarded as medical advice or replace the advice of your physician | Dr.Beachgem10
