I've never heard of an adult with croup; I believe it's a child's illness. Yes i get adult croup!!! I get the sore throat for a few days then during the night i get the raspy breathing.Not long after i feel the change in breathing i get that barking cough,not from irritation but from thinking i have to clear my airways,but i cant .Sometimes i get a bit paniky but giving that im 35 i havent died yet hahah ...This lasts for a few days..I dont get any temperature and feel fine. ANd yes i get it from my kids who are 10,13, and 16 Croup is a virus that anyone can get. The symptoms are just more severe in children. You probably have had croup as an adult and just thought you had a bad cold.

a persistent cough described as "barking" in nature is the characteristic sign of croup. often warm, humidified oxygen is used to relieve the symptoms.

Croup (barking cough, usually in little kids) is a reaction of the airways- specifically the upper airways- to a virus. It is not a disease itself. The virus that causes croup is contageous, but a person not susceptible to the airway changes may not develop croup even if infected by the virus.

Most treatment can be done at home, using relaxing and supportive measures to relieve symptoms. Steam inhalation is quite helpful in this respect.
