Croup is a condition that develops quickly in children and is usually caused by a viral infection in the upper airways, which is localised in the throat and surrounding tissues. It's characterised by a barking cough. It's fairly uncommon and affects more boys than girls.
However, depending on the type of catheter you had installed (a urethral or a suprapubic catheter), you may still experience some catheter pain, especially in the case of an indwelling catheter that is expected to stay in your bladder for awhile â usually from a few days all the way up to forever.
If there is a balloon at the tip of the catheter, the balloon is deflated, then the catheter is gently pulled to remove it from the body. The process is typically painless unless there is irritation present in the urinary tract. If the process is painful, a topical medication can be used to numb the area.
