Epiglottis may be visible normally in many individuals and not really abnormal. Your symptoms may be due to nicotine withdrawal which causes dryness of throat with associated pain and cough. You may need to take supportive treatment which may include cough syrups and multivitamins for faster mucosal healing
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
