Health clarifies laryngeal stridor in children
The Ministry of Health and Population affirmed that croup, which is believed to be spreading among children, is a respiratory infectious disease that has been known for decades. It occurs seasonally during the autumn and winter months and is not a new or currently widespread virus in schools. They clarified that the disease most commonly affects children aged 6 months to 3 years and is caused by familiar viruses such as parainfluenza virus. It is characterized by its non-association with diphtheria, which is bacterial and treatable through vaccinations. The ministry also confirmed that there are no unusual outbreaks within schools or nurseries, and the rates of cases are consistent with seasonal patterns, with ongoing daily epidemiological monitoring. They provided preventive advice including handwashing, keeping infected children at home, ensuring good ventilation, administering necessary vaccinations, and avoiding antibiotics without medical consultation.
