Yes: Recurrent croup is likely from asthma but this needs to be evaluated by your pediatrician and/or an allergist. This condition however may subside by age 3 or 4 in a high proportion of children .Due to the small caliber of the airways in young children, making a diagnosis of asthma may be difficult. If the child has eczema and found to be allergic + pos family history, then asthma is more likely.
