Stridor are intense continuous monophonic wheezes heard loudest over extrathoracic airways. They tend to be accentuated during inspiration when extrathoracic airways collapse due to lower internal lumen pressure. They can often be heard without the aid of a stethoscope. Careful auscultation with a stethoscope can usually identify an area of maximum intensity that is associated with the airway obstruction. This is typically either at the larynx or at the thoracic inlet. These extrathoracic sounds are often referred down the airways and can often be heard over the thorax and are often mistaken as pulmonary wheezes. Stridor is significant and indicates upper airway obstruction.
Now that being said it is very important if your baby is having true stridor to make sure you baby is getting the right treatment of it... find out why? There is medicine to treat it its called racemic epi and its giving in breathing treatments ask, talk to you doctor please OK?

I think you might mean "stridor", which is a high-pitched noise made during inhalation. It typically indicates an airway obstruction of some sort. My advice would be to take him to a specialist if your pediatrician doesn't know what's going on. This does not sound normal at all and it seems your baby is struggling to breathe. A pulmonologist specializes in lung diseases - that might be a start.
If you don't get an answer, keep asking doctors, keep trying different doctors.

Surely, you are taking this child to a pediatrician, right? That would be the proper person to ask. If you haven't done so, do it now!
I rather doubt that the method of birth has anything to do with this behavior. But he could have an obstruction. You should be having regular check-ups, anyway!

A high-pitched, noisy respiration, like the blowing of the wind; a sign of respiratory obstruction, especially in the trachea or larynx.

Will you please take this child to the hospital before he dies. This is not the only question you asked about this boys health, he needs medical attention, stop looking for the answer on the internet and act like a responsible parent.

you need to get your kid checked out by a doc, if your kid has stridor, this is an indication of an airway obstruction, and should be checked out asap.
