Description

In this episode of the Master Series, we explore the case of a 22-month-old girl with a sudden, harsh cough and noisy breathing during crying. She has no fever, is drinking fluids, and remains playful — but something isn’t quite right.

Through this clinical scenario, you'll learn how to:
Understand the differential for pediatric stridor
Recognize upper airway obstruction patterns
Choose when to observe and when to treat
Identify the best next step based on severity
Avoid unnecessary testing in a stable child

Perfect for Step 2 CK review and pediatric clinical reasoning.
