Is Croup virus contagious?
my son is 3.5 years old & had his first croup attack when he was 11 months old & was in hosp for 3 days - Croup to my knowledge is very contagious - however as it has been explained to me - croup is a virus - not all children that come into contact with the croup virus itself will contract the croup bug - they may get a cough / runny nose etc - but not full on croup - Its as contagious as a cold - I keep my son away from pretty much everyone when he has croup - but its really the parents decision I guess - Boys are more prone as their windpipes are smaller & should grow out of it by the age of 7 - when my son is over the worst of it I always tell parents that may wish to come over etc that he has had croup & then its their call - Its a terrible virus though - I wouldn't wish it on anyone - Not so bad once U know what U are dealing with though

How long are you contagious for after being diagnosed with strep throat and after you start taking medication?
The germs that caused the virus are still in you and reproducing for most of the time you are on antibiotics. The anitbiotics kill them. As they die, they're numbers dwindle, but are still there, so you are still contagious until all the antibiotic is gone and the doctor confirms the virus is gone. It is important to use all the prescribed antibiotic--to be sure to kill off all the germs. If not, some may be left and start reproducing again, thus you'd have to start all over with the antibiotics.
