Suggest Treatment For Breathlessness When Suffering From Laryngomalacia
Question: Hello team,
my son Arimit is 6 weeks old and diagnose with the problem of laryngomalacia. He is my first baby. He is facing too much difficulty in breathing and he moves his hands here and there on his face to breathe when he cant inhale easily. His face turns red like he is begging for breathing. This makes me cry when I see him like this. Everytime he sleeps and suddenly he awakes as he cant breathe that time.
Please help me.
Regards
XXXX
