Hi Share members,

This discussion was getting rather lengthy, so I started another discussion. The prior discussion can be found here.

This conversation is for families/careigivers of children with laryngomalacia or tracheomalacia to find and support each other, as well as ask and answer pertinent questions about this medical condition.

Laryngomalacia soft larynx, is a congenital abnormality of the laryngeal cartilage. It is one of the most common reason for infants to experience noisy breathing or stridor.

Tracheomalacia, soft trachea, is a structural abnormality of the tracheal cartilage allowing collapse of its walls and airway obstruction. It is also one of the most common reason for infants to experience noisy breathing or stridor

keywords: floppy airway, laryngomalacia, tracheomalacia, broncoscopy, chronic cough, broncolamalcia, stridor
