Conditions

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where breathing is affected during sleep due to obstruction of the upper airway. This occurs during sleep because the muscles in the airway relax and the airway partially closes.

Laryngomalacia is a congenital condition where the tissues of the larynx get soft. This is the most common cause of noisy breathing in infants.

Cholesteatoma is a small skin cyst that grows in the middle ear. These masses can slowly expand and destroy ear bones or the inner ear system.

Tonsillitis and Adenoiditis

Tonsillitis and adenoiditis can occur when these tissues fight infections, sometimes causing the adenoids and tonsils to get infected and inflamed.
