Accepted Answer

Croup is a type of laryngitis that affects the vocal cords, larynx, and trachea, causing swelling and narrowing of the airway, which leads to a distinctive barking cough and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include hoarseness, fever, runny nose, and sore throat. Rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal passages, pharyngitis is inflammation of the pharynx, and epiglottitis is inflammation of the epiglottis, which are not specific to the symptoms of croup.
