I had gotten croup as a teen and i now get it every year in the fall im 24, is it still contagious when i have it? and will it ever go away?

Croup: Not sure why you get "croup" but if you are running fevers with it consider yourself contagious. And since croup is caused by a virus you could spread it just as if you had a cold and could.
