Patient's question:
What should be done about incomplete development of the infant's throat cartilage?Doctor's answer:
Congenital cartilage underdevelopment of the larynx is caused by calcium deficiency. It's important to supplement calcium and vitamin D. Additionally, special attention should be paid to preventing colds, as underdeveloped laryngeal cartilage can already lead to breathing difficulties. A cold can further exacerbate breathing problems, potentially leading to severe pneumonia symptoms such as hypoxia. Generally, the condition improves around the age of two. If you remain unconvinced, you can visit a reputable children's hospital every three months for check-ups.
