summary

One day, a pair of young parents came to the hospital with a baby who had just been born for more than ten days. They said that the baby's milk and water were normal, and his voice was pleasant when he cried. That is to say, he always heard a grunt in his throat, as if he was blocked by phlegm. The baby was diagnosed as "congenital laryngeal chondromalacia" by otorhinolaryngologist's detailed examination, especially by direct laryngoscope. Let's share my experience with you.

How does self-test darling have congenital laryngochondromalacia?

Laryngeal chondromalacia refers to the abnormal weakness of the newborn's laryngeal cartilage, that is, the function of the laryngeal scaffold is not strong, so that when breathing in, the laryngeal cartilage is squeezed together, causing dyspnea and laryngeal wheezing - grunting in the throat. The main reason for the softening of baby's laryngeal cartilage can be attributed to the lack of nutrition of the mother during pregnancy and the lack of adequate calcium and vitamin D in the fetus, resulting in the poor development of laryngeal cartilage.

Wheezing is the main feature of congenital laryngeal chondromalacia. Light performance for intermittent, quiet or just fall asleep when symptoms ease, will wake up in deep sleep because of wheezing and crying; In severe cases, persistent laryngeal wheezing was found, which was also obvious in quiet or sleep,

At the same time, it was accompanied with dyspnea and depression of suprasternal fossa. When suffering from a cold or pneumonia, the symptoms are more severe than those of normal infants, and tracheotomy is required for a few severe cases.
