To the new parents on Nostr: Your kid will likely, eventually get croup. Learn what ‘stridor’ sounds like. It can be kind of like a squeak or a wheez or a whistle when they inhale. It will be worse if they are crying. It means they are working very hard to breath. It is something you should consider serious. The rest you can find out with your own research, just wanted to put this on your radar. My second has it, he is at the ER, nurse heard it with his cough and bumped him up in the cue. If you have been relatively healthy, you may have never gone to the ER/ urgent care before yourself, you may feel silly. Get over it. My first got it around this age as well 2-3. If you do the research now you will be more calm when it happens. Stridor while crying is something to take seriously. Stridor at rest is a blinking red light and alarms should be going off. #parenting

Sorry about your kid, hope he gets better quickly. My second oldest had croup when she was little, not something to mess around with. prayers for a speedy recovery.
