Is it strange to have a croupy cough at age 18?
Apparently, yes.

I've been getting this awful, barking cough two or three times a year since...forever. Today is one of those days. I sound like a seal.

Advice?

I'm leaving for college in three weeks, but I'll try to squeeze it in. Thanks.

A couple years ago, my mom asked my pediatrician why I kept getting it, and she said it might be indicative of undiagnosed asthma, but nothing every came of it.

All I know is that I'm miserable, and I have to work from 6-11 tonight.
