I have showed my ent multiple times and he has checked me and told me it's nothing to worry and if it is present it is benign and nothing should be done
I inserted my finger to touch my epiglottis and found this movable cyst like round structure on the folding part of it towards the inside facing the mouth

It's same size and shape
I can feel it it's hanging to the epiglottis

You need detail examination with laryngoscope. If ENT surgeon told nothing to worry and You don't have any symptoms then Don't be panic.

Don't worry if it really Epiglottic cyst then it is benign and nothing needs to be done unless it becomes very big. Since ENT doctor are available like flies on milk cup, you can get it removed from your next door ENT surgeon as soon as Epidemic is over.

Little more details from the previous pictures will help guide better. If the doctors say there is nothing to worry about then most likely that’s the case. This over manipulation or repeated touching of the oral cavity is not a good habit. Are you having any symptoms?

Difficult to give you some definite opinion without examining you...you need to be examined with a flexible laryngoscopy ...if it is a cyst it can be opened and marsupilised by microlaryngoscopy ...but all said and done you need to be examined
