today I was told my 4 year old son had a split epiglottis. He had problems respiratory at birth and also with feeding,, and was given reflux medicine as well since then he has been diagnosed as asthmatic. 1. is there a major concern in it being split 2. could he not actually be asthmatic but this be the cause for his breathing and reflux. ( as sometime s he will start coughing and vomit , but his chest is clear do I need a referral to a specialist
Howell come to ChatDoctorThis is continental condition if the symptoms are because of this only then this may need surgical repaired and for that you need to have pediatric surgeons' opinion, such case need medical team work without this we can not reach to some decision, symptoms of cough and vomiting may not be due to this, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day
