Son has parainfluenza/croup. his twin woke up coughing but not barky should i keep her home from school ? could this be early croup?

Depends: If your child is feverish and cough becomes more concerning, then i would have them seen by their doctor. This could be early croup, but it could just be the beginnings if a cold.
