Is A Second Tongue Sticking Out Of The Back Of Throat Of A 6 Yr Old Epiglottis Or Something Else?
My 6 yo daughter complained of feeling something in the back of her throat. I had her open her mouth to look in the back of her throat and saw a "second" tongue sticking out of the back of her throat. She does not have a fever, nor does she have any trouble breathing. Could this be her epiglottis? Is this normal?
