Stridor, Rattles & Wheezing

A guide for the worried parent: each breathing sound points to a different area and a different problem

Stridor, rattles and wheezing each point to a different part of the airway and a different underlying problem. Stridor usually arises from the upper airway, wheezing from the lower airways, and rattles often from secretions. At the clinic we characterize the sound, its timing and its triggers, and tailor the appropriate workup and treatment.
