Posted by Augusto Saldana Miranda on

While the first is a disease of bronchioles and lower airway with resulting wheezing and crakles, the second one is inflammation of the larynx, causing stridor and braking cough. Both are caused mainly by a viral infection and both may present at the ED with rhinorrea, coughing, fever and signs of increased work of breathing.
