My 16 month old has been drooling a lot since he was born. he was diagnosed with laryngomalcia at 10 months. do they go together?

Laryngomalacia: Yes. Laryngomalacia is the weakness of the laryngeal muscles and audible sounds heard. Occasionally can be associated with drooling. Usually by 2 years this condition will resolve.
