I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that sits beneath the tongue at the back of the throat. Its main function is to close over the windpipe (trachea) while you're eating to prevent food entering your airway. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
