Question
What to Do About Newborn Laryngeal Cartilage Hypoplasia?
Answer
Congenital laryngeal cartilage hypoplasia is caused by a lack of calcium. It is important to supplement calcium and vitamin D. Pay special attention to prevent colds, as laryngeal cartilage hypoplasia itself can cause breathing difficulties, and colds can further exacerbate breathing difficulties, leading to symptoms such as hypoxia and severe pneumonia. Generally, it will heal around the age of 2. Pregnant women should also strengthen their nutrition, as breast milk provides better nutrition than direct calcium supplementation. If you are still not sure, you can have a physical examination every three months to let the doctor check, in order to avoid concerns.
