Question
My baby is six months old and has a hoarse voice, and the chest is concave when breathing out. The baby has been making a honking sound since birth; at Xingtai City Hospital, it was diagnosed as congenital laryngomalacia; tracheal retraction signs; and was prescribed Icoshin and Diquang calcium carbonate.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s condition may be congenital laryngomalacia, which is usually associated with underdevelopment of the laryngeal cartilage and calcium deficiency. It is recommended to give the baby vitamin AD or calcium carbonate orally. As the baby grows older and their immune system strengthens, the symptoms may improve. Since there are many causes of respiratory system diseases, if diagnosed with a respiratory system disease, it is important to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and pay attention to a balanced diet.
