➡️ What is Stridor?
It is a type of wheezing that is caused by an upper airway obstruction. It's common in both croup and epiglottitis.

▪Croup - subglottic swelling
▪Epiglottitis - supraglottic swelling

Stridor makes a distinct, recognizable, high-pitch sound. Stridor should be treated with cool mist and racemic epinephrine. But in severe cases, the patient may need to be intubated immediately.
