A member asked:
Help docs! i'm trying to find out what causes tracheomalacia in newborns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dont know: There is a lot if information what what it is but not the what causes it. So do not know if it is just genetic (most likely) or environmental (in which case we should see a whole lot more of it). Infants do outgrow it. I would not be too worried about what causes it as the baby already has it...So lets deal with the here and now...
