It is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular review. Epiglottis cyst is a cystic swelling formed due to chronic inflammation of epiglottis mucosa causing obstruction of submucosal mucous gland ducts, usually there are no obvious clinical symptoms in the early stage; when the epiglottis cyst gradually increases in size, the patient may experience a foreign body sensation in the pharynx, or even dyspnea.
