OK it's the wrong time of year for this one, but.. "croup typically develops
over days, epiglottitis over hours" is one of the common things in lists of
the difference between the two. My memory says this chestnut was in the
Noddy Does Paeds books 10-15years ago written by consultants; my experience
says that croup usually develops in the time between a child with a bit of a
runny nose going to bed, and the GP on call going to his bed.
What do you think?
