Question : My 2 year old recently had a MLB done and it showed "bumps" along his trachea that had never been there before. they have sent for a biopsy but the doctor was called out and we didn't get to ask any more questions in terms of what he thought they could be.

Hello,

I have gone through your query and have checked the attached images. It appears that the redness and bumps are due to an infection or inflammation. I would insist you to wait for the biopsy reports. Let us not speculate and wait to find out what it actually is.

Please upload the report once you get it so that I can assist you further.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
