Should Croup Symptoms In A Child Be Treated By A Pediatric Pulmonologist?
Child, since birth had a barking cough, when addressed with his dr. he indicated that lungs were clear - no throat redness. I have been around babies many years and have never heard a cough like unless the child (or individual) had the Croup (?). Although I m sure this is not common is it something that might need to be addressed with a Pediatric Pulmonologist?

Hello,
Yes, if the cough is persistent and the regular pediatrician cannot determine the cause then a pediatric pulmonologist should be consulted.
