Infant Often Feel Congested And Throw Up After Undergoing Laryngomalacia Surgery. Any Concerns?
My grand daughter had laryngomalacia when she was born, the had to do surgery at 6 weeks as she was loosing weight quite fast. She is now 1 year and 4 months and only weights 16 lbs. Often she is very congested and then starts throwing up like a tap.... Any concerns?

HI HAVING RECURRENT CONGESTIONS IS A CONCERN IF THEY ARE MORE THAN 6 EPISODES PER YEAR.THIS MAY BE DUE TO LESS IMMUNITY IN OUR BABY OR SHE IS MORE PRONE TO ALLERGY.IF SHE IS ACTIVE AND PLAYFUL DURING THOSE EPISODES AND ABLE TO TOLERATE FEEDS,IT IS MOSTLY VIRAL IN NATURE.PLEASE CONSULT A CHILD SPECIALIST NEARBY FOR FORTHER EXAMINATION.HOPE IT ANSWERS TO YOUR QUERY
