Laryngomalacia

Laryngomalacia is a common condition in infants characterized by the softening of the tissues of the larynx (voice box). This softening can lead to the collapse of the tissues, especially during breathing, resulting in noisy breathing or stridor. While laryngomalacia often improves on its own as the child grows, severe cases may require medical intervention.

Monitoring and supportive care are essential for infants with laryngomalacia. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be considered to address airway obstruction and improve breathing. Timely evaluation by a healthcare professional is crucial to determine the appropriate course of action.
