Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

I am reassuring that your doctor was right if it laryngomalacia. It is self limiting and will be gradually getting better as the age progresses. Sometimes it may take 1.5 to 2.5 years also to improve.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
