Tracheomalacia is a condition in which the walls of the trachea become weak and collapse, leading to difficulty breathing. This can result in a barking cough, noisy breathing, and shortness of breath. Laryngomalacia, on the other hand, is a condition in which the tissues of the larynx are floppy and collapse during inspiration, leading to noisy breathing, stridor, and difficulty feeding. Both conditions can be present in infants and children, and may require medical intervention to help improve breathing and overall health.
