What's wrong with the sound in the baby's throat?

I believe some people don’t know about congenital tinnitus. Congenital larynx can easily occur in children. Usually, babies two or three months old snore loudly when they sleep at night. In fact, this may also be due to poor development of laryngeal cartilage, which causes sound in the baby's throat. Adults need to pay attention to this situation and don't think it is a small problem. Let's take a look at what's going on with the sound in the baby's throat.

Newborns or babies aged 2 to 3 months may make a sharp whistling sound in the throat when inhaling, or a gurgling sound. This is called congenital laryngeal wheeze, also known as laryngeal cartilage softening.

This is because the baby's larynx is underdeveloped and the laryngeal cartilage softens, making the larynx narrow. When inhaling, the air flows through, causing the epiglottis cartilage to vibrate and make a sound. Most children with this condition are asymptomatic at birth and symptoms develop after an episode of influenza, diarrhea, or pneumonia. In mild cases, the stridor is intermittent, and is more obvious when one is frightened, crying or sick. It is mainly characterized by difficulty breathing when inhaling, without hoarseness, which distinguishes it from laryngitis. Such children are prone to choking or suffocation when feeding, so special attention should be paid when feeding.

This type of laryngitis is caused by calcium deficiency which leads to softening of the laryngeal cartilage. Due to insufficient calcium supplementation, especially calcium deficiency during pregnancy, the baby is born with incomplete development of the larynx, which makes the larynx narrow and the laryngeal cartilage softened. Therefore, when inhaling, the two sides of the epiglottis cartilage curl backward and inward, contacting the larynx, blocking the entrance to the larynx and causing difficulty in breathing. It is necessary to supplement calcium, cod liver oil and get more sun exposure in time to promote cartilage development. Colds and other infectious diseases should be prevented because these diseases can aggravate children's breathing difficulties. If a child is found to have symptoms of respiratory infection, he or she should be treated promptly to avoid laryngeal spasm and suffocation, which can be life-threatening.

The above is all about the sound in the baby's throat. Larynx is caused by calcium deficiency in children, and it is normal for children to lack calcium when they are young. Parents can give their children more foods containing vitamin A and vitamin D, because vitamin A and vitamin D can help children absorb and utilize calcium. If the child's larynx is severe, he needs to be sent to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately.
