Noisy breathing (also called stridor) in children can be caused by narrowed or blocked airways due to laryngomalacia, enlarged tonsils/adenoids, infections, or structural issues.

​

Treatment Options:

• Observation for mild cases like laryngomalacia, which often improves with age

• Medications for infections or inflammation

• Surgery, such as removing enlarged tonsils/adenoids or correcting airway problems

• Scans or scopes to examine the airway if needed.
