I have been told that my dd has Laryngomalacia (floppy larynx). I noticed her loud breathing started when she was about 4 weeks. I constantly brought it up to her ped but he kept dismissing it. Finally I demanded an answer and he told me that he that he thought it was Trachomalacia (floppy trachea) so I insisted that I see a specialist. So we saw the specialist and he said laryngomalacia but the only way to know for sure would be to scope ther throat and he did not feel that was necessary.
She also has a constant stuffy nose and a dry cough that sounds more like her throat is irritated than anything else. This nose and throat thing has also been going on since she was about 4 weeks sometimes it is worse than others but it is always there. She also sneezes more than just a few times a day. She has had purple circles under her eyes since she was born too. I have suggested allergies to her ped repetatly but he tells me "no" so I ask him is this related to the laryngomalacia? From what I have read it's not. He says it's all normal baby stuff. She is always rubbing her nose and blowing it on me. She also snores.
Any suggestions or personal experiance feedback would be so great!
Thanks,
