Acquired Tracheomalacia treatment in Guadalajara

Acquired tracheomalacia is a weakening of the walls of the trachea, the passage that carries air to the lungs, which causes it to tend to collapse during breathing. Unlike the congenital form, it develops over the course of life.

Manifestations that are described: You may notice a persistent cough, noisy breathing, a feeling of shortness of breath, or difficulty clearing secretions.

When to see a doctor? With a chronic cough or breathing problems that are not easily explained, a detailed evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon are the ones who evaluate airway abnormalities. Discussing these symptoms with one of them allows the case to be studied in greater depth.
