Is my 3-year-old child's barking normal?
Children don't usually bark like dogs. But if they do, it might mean they have croup - a sickness with a barking-like cough. They could also have a runny nose or hoarse voice. When the airways swell, this happens. Giving warm drinks and using a cool mist humidifier helps. But talk to your kid's doctor if it keeps going.
