Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Croup typically presents with respiratory stridor and barking cough, especially in young children. Hemoptysis and mucus production are not typically present in croup, and while a fever may be present, it is not typically high. Drooling and snoring are more commonly associated with other conditions, such as epiglottitis.
