Patient's question:
Doctor, hello!Today, I had a check-up for my child's throat, and the fiberoptic examination revealed congenital laryngeal cartilage softening. The child is just 100 days old and shows symptoms such as choking while feeding, occasional vomiting, and a loud throat sound during feeding. Do you have any good suggestions? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Congenital laryngeal cartilage softening is very common in clinical practice. It generally resolves on its own as the child grows. If the symptoms are severe, calcium and vitamin D supplements should be provided to help the baby recover earlier. It is recommended to take children's calcium supplements (such as Caltrate D, Kecksi D, Diakid) once a day, or take pure calcium tablets plus cod liver oil. More sun exposure is needed, and avoid lying down while feeding to prevent choking.
