My niece's daughter was born with this condition and recently (at 3 mos.) had surgery which essentially trimmed down the epiglottis.
She had to have surgery because she was gaining weight very slowly.
She is doing very well now and gaining appropriately.
Many babies, I understand, though will simply outgrow the condition by one year.
