Okay. So I have been having throat problems lately, and the other day I was able to touch my epiglottis deep in my throat. Today, as I looked in the mirror with a flashlight pointed in my throat, I could see my epiglottis clearly visible. I was not sticking my tongue out. I've been having some breathing problems lately, and I know a lot of it is anxiety related, but I would like to know if my visible epiglottis could be serious. I am 15 years old. Please help.
