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.
Thank you so much for your post Laya. My mom was having too much discomfort with the pleurx catheter and was not getting any sleep. We ended up taking her to the ER when she started to have difficulty urinating and bloated stomach. My mom had a trapped lung on the side where the catheter was placed.
