Tracheal Tugging

A 1-month-old female patient was referred to our hospital with a history of noisy breathing and poor weight gain. The noisy breathing worsened when the patient was crying or feeding, and feeding was sometimes difficult due to respiratory distress. The patient was delivered vaginally at term with a birth weight of 2.3  kg. On examination, her pulse rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, and oxygen saturation were 158 beats per minute, 44 breaths per minute, 37.2°C, and 99% on room air, respectively.
