Croup: 14 signs and symptoms
11. Runny nose
The croup cough can cause a runny nasal discharge along with other symptomsthat may be associated with colds or flu. This will cause you to constantly need to blow your nose and sniff.
You can use a menthol rubbing to break up mucus if your nose is running. Inhaling the fumes from the menthol rub will thin and remove phlegm. You can prevent irritations from waking you up at night by sleeping with a tissue.
