AB A  4-month-old  infant  presents  to  your  office  with  noisy  breathing.  His  mother  notes  it  began  at  a  few  weeks  of  life  and  has  gradually  worsened.  The  noise  is  described  as  a  high-pitched  wheeze  with  inspiration.  It  worsens  when  the  baby  is  feeding,  crying,  or  supine.  Laryngoscopy  confirms  the  diagnosis  of  laryngomalacia  (Figure  31-1).  The  infant  is  treated  with  acid  suppression  therapy.  The  infant--rsquo;s  symptoms  resolve  by  18  months  of  age.
