Q: Epiglottis causing gagging and choking

I woke up this morning with a sore throat after a night of partying and it it feels like my epiglottis keeps folding over my throat making me gag and choke. I have to swallow or tilt my head back to return it to normal.

I have no problem swallowing or breathing and I had a slight fever and vomiting which I have now recovered from.

Were you doing some hard drinking? Drugs? These symptoms will probably pass after your body recovers from the partying.
