Patient's question:
My child was diagnosed with congenital laryngeal stridor at just 22 days old. I don't know if it's serious. Is there a way to treat it? At 20 days old, the baby primarily snored, and it felt like there was phlegm in the throat. Difficulty breathing symptoms occurred when lying on their back.Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered, and there is no history of heredity.
What kind of help is desired: How to treat it?
Doctor's answer:
This parent's congenital laryngeal stridor is caused by poor growth and development of the child's laryngeal cartilage. During inhalation, the laryngeal cartilage covers the glottis, producing a chicken-like cooing sound. Congenital laryngeal stridor is a laryngeal stridor caused by weakness and relaxation of the laryngeal ligaments in infants and young children, leading to collapse of the ligaments during inhalation and a smaller laryngeal cavity. It is also known as laryngeal cartilage softening. It commonly occurs shortly after birth or within a few months after birth. As the child grows older, the laryngeal cartilage gradually develops, and the stridor gradually disappears.
