What is Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM)?
Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is a condition where the airway becomes weak and collapses during breathing, making it difficult to get enough air.
It can cause symptoms like chronic cough, shortness of breath, and frequent respiratory infections. TBM is often misdiagnosed, which can delay proper care and treatment.
