Go To ER: Problems breathing secondary to an oropharyngeal, epiglottic, or lanryngotracheal process can be an emergency. It needs to be urgently evaluated to so that it does not worsen to complete obstruction. Go to the er/ed or your pcp asap.

ENT: See a otolaryngologist (ENT) for an evaluation. It could be nothing or something that will go away or something very serious.
