What is a congenital stridor?

No sound is normally heard when the child breathes. In some children, a noise is heard while breathing. Congenital stridor is a noisy, hard, rough breath in these babies (just like in the video).

The main reason for this is an anomaly in the respiratory tract. That is, due to the narrowing of the trachea and trachea, the air flow out of the lungs becomes noisy (remember the whistle).

❗️If there is bruising around the mouth, marbled skin, difficulty swallowing and weight loss with noisy nasal discharge, the child should be taken immediately to a pediatrician and ENT.
