Question
What are the symptoms of congenital laryngeal cartilage softening?
Answer
Congenital laryngeal cartilage softening leads to hoarseness and the inability of the laryngeal cartilage to fully close, causing difficulty in breathing. Treatment methods include supplementation of calcium and vitamin D, as well as increased sun exposure. For children experiencing breathing difficulties, immediate medical examination is required, and tracheotomy may be necessary if needed.
