Congenital wheezing

Japanese: 先天性喘鳴
Congenital wheezing
It is also called congenital laryngeal stridor. A condition in which wheezing occurs due to a congenital abnormality in the epiglottis. Wheezing is a gurgling or wheezing sound that comes from the throat when breathing. Wheezing can also occur when the tongue is too large, the lower jaw is underdeveloped, or there is lymphoma or hemangioma, but these types of conditions with a clear underlying disease are excluded from congenital wheezing. It is thought that the cause is that the epiglottis is too long or weak, and that it is omega-shaped.
