Patient's question:
Still not better. Other people's children are usually fine around one year old. What's wrong with my little one? Whenever she eats dinner, she coughs and vomits. And whenever she exercises, she makes a wheezing sound.Medical History and Treatment Effects:
I've been to the hospital for thorough check-ups several times, and even had a laryngoscopy done. The doctor said it's tracheal cartilage softening and that medication isn't necessary.
Kind of Help Needed:
I just want to know if there are cases of tracheal cartilage softening that improve slowly. I'm very worried about my daughter's condition.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, you need to supplement calcium and vitamins. Due to calcium deficiency, it is recommended to get more sunlight and exercise. If necessary, you can take vitamin D supplements such as cod liver oil to ensure adequate vitamin D intake. Otherwise, poor calcium absorption may occur. The recommended daily intake of vitamin D is 400 IU for prevention.At the same time, consume more calcium-rich foods, such as milk, soy products, and seafood. Calcium supplements like gluconate calcium can also be used.
This condition typically takes longer to recover fully, so don’t be impatient. I hope this is helpful to you!
