Patient's question:
My baby is 20 days old and seems to have some phlegm in their throat. Sometimes it's not audible, and at other times it sounds like a cat's breathing. Is it normal for them to have it even when sleeping?Doctor's answer:
Child, pay attention to consider whether it is congenital laryngeal cartilage developmental disorder, also known as congenital laryngeal stridor. Generally, it's not a big problem, and it is estimated that around 1 year old, the child will heal on its own., pay attention to ensuring the child's respiratory tract is unobstructed, and the sleeping posture should be very good. During the child's cold, this symptom may become milder. It may be necessary to take some vitamin D, such as digestive Ekena, and calcium supplements, which help the nutritional growth and development of the laryngeal cartilage.
Wishing the child a healthy growth.
