A defective epiglottis can lead to difficulty swallowing, increased risk of aspiration (inhaling food or liquid into the airway), and potentially life-threatening respiratory issues if not treated promptly. It may also result in chronic coughing, hoarseness, and recurrent respiratory infections. Immediate medical attention is required if there are symptoms of epiglottis dysfunction.
