Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical assessment and diagnostic tests: 1. Clinical Assessment: Observing signs such as stridor, wheezing, and cyanosis. History-taking is crucial to understand the onset and progression of symptoms. 2. Radiologic Imaging: X-rays, CT scans, and MRI can help visualize the airway and identify obstructions. 3. Endoscopy: Bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy allow direct visualization of the airway and are often used to diagnose conditions like laryngomalacia and foreign body aspiration.
