-==Prognosis==
-Viral croup is a [[Self-limiting|self-limited]] disease, but can very rarely result in death from complete airway obstruction.  Symptoms may last up to 7 days, but typically peak around the second day of illness.  Rarely, croup can be complicated by (or confused with) an acute bacterial [[tracheitis]], which is more dangerous.
