Avatar n tn Today my 15 month daughter just saw specialist for her yellow cyst on uvula. We are given 3 months to make decision on the treatment. As we know, the frozen surgery would affect her little brain, but her cyst doesn't seem bothering her a lot. Specialist also mentioned that the cyst could possible o rupture by itself, that would be best ending. but who knows? We will wait and see at this moment.
Avatar m tn m going through a period of hypochondria and have found another issue to fixate on. I noticed yesterday that I had a little bump next to my uvula. It is very tiny (less than half a centimeter) and is the same color as my uvula. From certain angles, it just looks like a little flap of skin, but sometimes it dangles and looks like a tiny uvula next to the actual one. Does this sound like anything to worry about?
Avatar m tn I am a 32 year old male.I have had small flesh colored bumps on my uvula for months now. I recently had my tonsils removed due to an enlarged tonsil. Biopsies came back negative for malignancy, negative fungal and negative HPV. I was told it was due to chronic infection. The bumps on my uvula were there before surgey and are still there now. they haven't really changed in size but I have noticed that there may be more appearing.
Avatar n tn Can a tooth be abscessed without any gum swelling, and cause this swelling in my throat? A few years ago I had an abscess on the bottom left wisdom tooth. After swelling went down, the dentist did surgery to build up the bone.
Avatar m tn I am planning on taking her to the doctor in the morning but wanted to know if anyone could shed some light on this for me. Thanks!!!
Avatar m tn I am male, 23 years old. Ex-smoker. I have noticed this bump on my uvula 4 weeks ago and it still persists: http://tinypic.com/r/309u3ro/9 . Should i worry? is this cancer? Thank you for your time!
Avatar m tn I have given oral sex to a guy and during the first couple of days i had some pain in my throat. on the 4th day, i noticed a small spot on my uvula and i'm worried that it might be an STD. It has the same colour as my uvula and it makes me feel uncomfortable every time that i swallow. I am aware that most STDs need about 2 weeks in order to show symptoms, but if it's not an STD, what might have caused this?
Avatar m tn I visited my ENT today, and he told me the only thing he could do for my long uvula is to have it surgically shortened/removed. Also he said that at the time my uvula did not appear swollen BUT that it was really long. The actual QUESTIONS would be... 1) can a swollen uvula be a symptom of mono. 2) is it more likely that my tongue is swollen causing me to have the same sensation of my uvula being longer.
Avatar f tn But a few days ago i noticed i have about four of them in a line on the front of my tongue. They were just slightly irritating, so i was looking at them in the mirror and i noticed that the back of my throat is pretty red and it looks like there are small bumps. Also it looks like my uvula is discolored (an almost yellowish spot). my throat doesnt really hurt at all just a slight irritation. I fear it may get worse. Anyone have any ideas of the cause?
Avatar m tn I’m on my 10th day post op but the uvula has been about half inch off from the center amd swollen from day 1 and it’s remained that way ever since despite all the scabs having fallen off already and otherwise little pain by now. I also saw small scab in the base of the uvula indicating that they have cut into it during surgery, perhaps accidentally. I can’t swallow properly due to the deviation and swelling.
Avatar n tn It's not really too worse trying to swallow on my back. One more symptom is that whenever I swallow, my stomach makes some noise and I can feel it too (air escaping I guess).
Avatar f tn it might be connected to deepthroating a guy 4 months ago when it left me with a chafed mucosa on my uvula on the very same place where the warts are now, but perhaps it's connected to chronic sinusitis which i have from an early age. didi you have oral sex with someone who might have hpv?
Avatar f tn I had my tonsils removed over 2 weeks ago and well my uvula is still swollen and I am not able to eat much. I wish I can fast forward 2 months in the future to get the swelling down. I so understand your position though. What I have heard from others is that it can take months for the uvula to get back into proper psition. Hang in there. All the best. If you are still uncertain then maybe see the ENT who did the surgery to explain things.
Avatar f tn t know if my tonsils are swollen or not but it looks as if so. There is a bit of white patches on both sides of throat by uvula. Also my tongue is always dry! I don't know exactly what's wrong. Anyone have any idea?
Avatar f tn Now I feel my tonsils and tongue are swollen as well and although I have no white on my tonsils or uvula my tongue has white spots on and right underneath it. I do suffer from seasonal allergies although they usually just give me hives, and I currently have a post nasal drip. Has anyone ever had anything similar? Any ideas on what I have or when this uvula will go back to normal?
Avatar m tn Judging by your description, it is most likely a fistula which is a tract that forms from the abscess of your infected tooth that escapes out to the gums. As long as the fistula in intact, your abscess can drain and slow down the spread of the abscess but if the fistula closes up, the abscess can spread rapidly through your face or neck area. I would recommend seeing a dentist and getting treatment started.
Avatar f tn I realized yesterday that I have about four bumps on the top of my uvula towards the roof of my mouth. What is this?
Avatar f tn Behind where my tonsils used to be is something like a skin flap, but on one side it goes down from the very base of the uvula, but on the other side, it goes down from a bit lower, about half way down from the back of the uvula, so the opening to my throat/distance from skin to uvula is almost twice as big on the one side, and the uvula is being pulled to the other side by that bigger skin flap. Why is that happening? Did the doctors cut more skin on one side?
Avatar n tn Days 2-10 swollen tonsils with white patches (extremely painful). Now my uvula is swollen and sitting on my tounge. Ok so heres what I have been using to combat this. Gargle with salt water, Drink warm water with honey and lemon, Tylenol for pain (actually works for once), had some fluticasone propionate for nasal congestion (stopped working so switched to afrin) and zinc cough drops. Ok heres my question, at what time should I be worried and go see a doctor.
Avatar f tn After weeks and weeks of enduring a sore throat (some virus?) I looked in my mouth and there was a small "tag" on my uvula. A few weeks have gone by and the sore throat is gone but the growth on my uvula is a little bigger. In color it looks similar to the uvula itself, it's just an extention -of sorts- on one side of it hanging down. I am one who worries a lot when it comes to medical issues, and I'm already panicking about surgery (I fear general anesthesia).
Avatar m tn This continued for a while the doctor wasnt concerned and said it should sort itself out, it didnt recently my uvula has swollen and it is touching the back of my tongue.

1712590 tn?1352392772 My uvula swells and I get bumps on back of throat and redness. What can cause this? I am afraid one day I won't be able to breathe. I take Benadryl or diphehydramine when mine swells because that is what the ER pumped through me when my uvula swelled the first time. I am still having it swell 5 times in 3 years. This last time was not a allergic reaction to meds.
Avatar n tn s the picture of health. He does have what appears to me to be an elongated uvula (drags the back of his tongue) but he says it feels like he has something in the back of his throat that needs coughed up. Nothing ever does come up and he has no nasal drip. I've looked at his throat and everything looks good. Nothing swollen. Could this just be from his uvula? Should I take him to an ENT? Our doctor just brushed it off last time I mentioned it.
Avatar m tn I found this big white cyst on my uvula. Is there some kind of home remedy, or will it just go away, or am I in big trouble? Here's a picture: https://ibb.co/fY7Ofd Thanks for any help.
Avatar f tn The roof of my mouth is white, and the uvula is swollen and almost touching the back of my tongue. I feel like I should keep swallowing. Never happened before. No new foods, meds, etc.
Avatar m tn Slowly, over the past few days, the uvula has shortened, but still rests on my tongue. The lower third of it is now grayish-white. The area behind the uvula is looking better and so is the tonsillar pillar, but my posterior mouth is so sore! It seems to be sore above my soft palate, posterior tongue, uvula, and throat. In looking at my mouth, it looks mildly red, not too remarkable. My gyn procedure went well and was only 15 min. long.
Avatar n tn At first, I felt the pain of my uvula so I was to doctor and after endoscopic observation, he said everything is okay. But now my uvula is okay most of the time but when I play or try to breathe out air with pressure there appeared to bump on my neck and after longer playing it is also painful. When I don't play for a while it is almost okay. I did a little bit of research what could it be and I ended up with these possibilities: pharyngocele or laryngocele.
