How did you go today, little_o?

Ocean Princess, stridor refers to a high pitched, whistling sound heard during respiration. Inspiratory stridor is heard… during inspiration! Breathing in, in other words. There are a lot of causes of stridor, it should always be investigated. An irregular respiratory rhythm, respiratory pauses, choking and coughing are not indicative of stridor (which is a sound), but I'm assuming there is more to little_o's DD's presentation than we know, and I'm sure her doctor has done the right thing by referring her to a paed for investigation.
