Congenital Tracheomalacia treatment in Monterrey

Congenital tracheomalacia is a condition present from birth in which the walls of the trachea, the passage that carries air to the lungs, are softer than usual and tend to partially collapse.

How it shows up: You may notice noisy breathing, an unusual cough, or breathing difficulty, especially during crying, feeding, or respiratory infections.

Origin: It is due to incomplete development of the cartilage that gives the trachea its firmness, so it is present from the first months of life.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician provides the initial follow-up for the child and coordinates care depending on each case. When a baby has persistent noisy breathing, it is advisable for a professional to perform a careful evaluation to guide the appropriate support.
