Most cases of Laryngomalacia are not life threatening.
However in rare cases the Laryngomalacia can lead to difficulty breathing or not being able to breathe at all.
If you or someone who has Laryngomalacia is experiencing difficulty breathing then call 911 and get medical help because there have been a few people and kids and even babies that have died from Laryngomalacia causing difficulty breathing.
The Laryngomalacia means soft larynx which causes noisy breathing especially in infants.
Most children who are born with Laryngomalacia outgrow the Laryngomalacia condition but some kids may require surgery to correct it.
If the child does not outgrow the Laryngomalacia then surgery is needed to prevent possible death from difficulty breathing.
