What Cause A Barky Cough
Barky Cough
Answer
Barky coughs are commonly caused by a swelling in the higher part of the airway. Mainly of the time, a barky cough comes from croup, a swelling of the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe).
Croup commonly is the outcome of a virus, but it can also come from allergies or a switch in temperature at night. Younger children have smaller airways that, if inflated, can make it hard to breathe. Kids younger than 3 years old are at the most risk for croup because their windpipes are so narrow.
