Introduction to Stridor

Stridor is a medical term used to describe a specific breathing sound that occurs when there is an obstruction in the airway. It is characterized by a high-pitched, wheezing or raspy sound that is heard during inhalation or exhalation. Stridor can be alarming for both children and adults, as it often indicates an underlying respiratory issue.
