Patient's question:
Baby 62 is currently 62 days old. At 15 days, I noticed a gurgling sound in the baby's throat, but there was no coughing, no cold, and no fever. The baby was feeding normally. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed incomplete development of the laryngeal cartilage and a slight case of pneumonia, which was not severe. The doctor did not recommend hospitalization and prescribed cough-relieving and cooling blood medicine, as well as medication for pneumonia. Later, at 47 days, the baby started coughing, followed by nasal congestion and a cold. X-rays confirmed the pneumonia, and the baby was admitted to the intensive care unit for 10 days before being discharged. After discharge, the doctor said the baby occasionally had a light cough, which is normal. Now, less than a week after discharge, the baby has difficulty feeding due to poor development of the laryngeal cartilage, often choking while drinking milk. Now, every time the baby finishes drinking milk, it coughs, and the throat feels like it has phlegm. What should I do? SOSDoctor's answer:
According to your description, if the cartilage of the larynx does not develop well, it may cause snoring again. However, if the child coughs after choking on milk again, this situation should be avoided as much as possible, such as trying to control the child's milk drinking speed to prevent transmission. The above is advice on the question "What should I do if my baby is 62 days old and has underdeveloped laryngeal cartilage?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
