Laryngomalacia, Advised It Will Outgrow. Breathing Really Loud. Should I Worry ?
My son has laryngomalacia. Dr said he should outgrow it and to bring him back if he got worse. The last few days his breathing has gotten really loud. He sounds like he is snoring but he is awake. You can also feel it in his chest. The noisy breathing is common with laryngomalacia but his wasn t like this before. Should I take him back to the pulmonologist?

Yes definitely you need to take him back to the pulmonologist. Either his laryngomalacia has got worse or there may be some other problem like some obstruction in major airways. The pulmonologist will help in arriving at a diagnosis.
