Recovering From Croup, Will This Cause Any Damage To Throat?
him my son is 6 months old an had croup for the second time, been very stressful for him, i wondered does this illness leave any damage to the throat as he recovering from croup but still refuses to take any bottle he screams for it an keeps trying to take it but cant swallow, its sad to watch then he deals with what he taken, witch is barely nothing at all.
