Doctors say cases of croup are on the rise.
A new symptom of COVID-19 is showing up in kids under age 5 who have been infected with the omicron variant.
Antoon says there has been an increase in croup cases among young children because it takes less inflammation to clog their small airways. Antoon says parents with children who have mild symptoms of COVID-related croup should focus on keeping them away from others at home and making sure they're washing their hands. He says parents will also want to call a doctor if they're having difficulty breathing.
In addition to presenting with croup, the omicron variant is causing fewer changes in taste and smell in kids and making asthma worse.
