I started looking for answers and a way to solve her problem, so I visited several doctors. I’m not sure what was worse during those times: opinions divided, either it was absolutely nothing and she would grow of it or it was terrible and I couldn't even think about taking her here or there, because she wouldn't resist and she would be terribly sick.

So, none of them helped. The thing is you hear you are supposed to go to the doctor if the condition doesn't disappear in so many days, but what do you do when the condition never disappears? Do you move in the doctor’s office?

Some claimed that it was just laryngomalacia, which literally means soft larynx and it’s supposed to be a very common condition on babies, whose immature cartilage of the upper larynx collapses inward during inhalation, causing airway obstruction. Obviously, usually babies grow out of this condition around two years old.

Others talked about allergies, which apparently you couldn't be sure existed until around three years old.

Then there were the pharyngeal tonsil or nasopharyngeal tonsil, which probably were too big, causing the condition.

All of the above however shared the common feeling that all would go away eventually and no harm would come of this, whatever this was.

Finally, I came across the pessimist, the child was so frail, she could not be out and about with other children. Lord knows what kind of bacteria they had and what that would do to my baby. And by no means should I let her sleep with her baby blankie. And probably she would have to have a surgery asap.

Well, that basically did it for me and I decided to take it lighter and deal with it myself. So long as she wasn't suffering, I could handle it.

Today, she is three and a half and although she’s a bit better, she still has some issues. She has colds very often, she coughs a lot, especially during the night and she snores. But I have some strategies to deal with all this (except for the snoring ). So, here are tips for other moms that may face the same problem.
