In many normal individuals tip of the epiglottis is visible. It is not really abnormal. No treatment is necessary. If you are using steroid inhalers for bronchitis then that can cause chronic throat irritation. You need to rinse your mouth well after using inhalers
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
