Common Questions and Answers about Bumps behind uvula

Avatar f tn I have bumps in my throat behind my uvula, my uvula seems a little red as does the palate around it. Both sides of my throat by the uvula are swollen and I don'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 When I was flossing my back teeth last week, I noticed some small bumps on my uvula. There is one on either side of my uvula where it joins the roof of my mouth, and then increasingly small ones go down the front of the uvula in a sort of a V-shape. They are 100% painless, although they may be slightly red (not sure if it's just normal inside-of-the-mouth red or not).

Avatar m tn I went to the doctors today to get tested for herpes. I have a sore throat, plus 2 bumps on my uvula. Plus a little bit swollen on my lymph nodes. I asked the doctor if that's what it was, was herpes? She said no she didn't see any lesions. But does 2 bumps on the uvula & a sore throat sound like a symtom? I'm freaking out & im scared. :( any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am currently experiencing very tiny bumps near my uvula or on the soft palate. It is not visible when on natural light but when I use flashlight, it can be seen. It is very tiny and is comparable to fordyce spots. It's not painful but when sometimes I eat certain foods, it enlarges and it hurts. It disappears after a minute lol. It's not even itchy. It's just annoying.
1554235 tn?1294328267 oh sorry ... of course about uvula i knw it. uvula hangs from the roof of the soft palate, but the structure i saw was from beneth, to be exact comes inside from the oseophagus. just behind the tongue. like a small tongue. i was worried about that structure. please could u explain that.....
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.
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 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 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 m tn What you are describing sounds like the Uvula. This is a normal structure of the mouth. It dangles for the top at the back of the mouth.Occasionally the Uvula may enlarge temporarily due to a viral infection or other irritant.The Uvula can curl upward due to touching the tongue. This may appear as if it is radiating from the bottom behind the tongue. If your daughter continues to have discomfort, develops a fever etc. , please consult your physician.
Avatar n tn So now that my symptoms are showing I decided to take a look. The tip of my swollen uvula is not visible behind my tongue. I can feel it resting on my tongue and when I swallow, I get that familiar sand paper feeling that I can now identify as my tongue against my uvula. Research suggests that I am indeed just suffering from allergies, or perhaps tonsillitis. Whatever it is…I NEED TO FIX IT! Take these things out! Something! This happens all the time.
Avatar f tn Next to my uvula and tonsils I have a small pink smooth bump. I feel like it has always been there however looking at pictures online everyone looks smooth with no bumps. Is this normal ?
Avatar f tn The thing hanging down is called the uvula and the tonsils are located on either side of the back of the throat, just behind the uvula. It looks like I can see the very back wall of your throat immediately behind your uvula. Some tonsils are so big they actually touch in the middle. Yours don't appear to be that big.
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 m tn I was brushing my teeth earlier and when I brushed my tongue and spat, I noticed a sorta milky yellow string of what seemed like mucus hanging behind my uvula. I tried to spit it out, but it was still hanging there. It looked like it was coming out of the top hole behind the uvula, which I'm guessing leads to the nose? Eventually, I got annoyed and tried to pull it out, but it would just slide between my fingers. Soon I figured out that I could pinch it and pull it out in pieces.
Avatar n tn I have had a sore throat for about 2 weeks, just the last 7 days little pimple on my tounge have appeared (lie bumps) and my uvula looks like it has burst blood vessles and is swollen.
Avatar f tn 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 f tn But then I noticed a few bumps above my uvula that got me worried. They are between 1 and 2mm in diameter (see photo) located on both sides of the symmetry line of the soft palate. I tried running my finger over them but they don't hurt. I don't have any difficulties swallowing. Also, if I look really closely at my soft palate, from a certain angle, I can see other, even smaller bumps (pinprick size) above these ones, between the uvula and the hard palate. Any idea what they are?
Avatar f tn m most concerned about two large flesh colored bumps near my uvula. Also painless. Any idea what is wrong?
Avatar f tn I had what felt like a small skin tag or lump or something just behind and to the left of my uvula. I went to my ENT today and he said not to worry, he has seen literally thousands of these in the time he's been practicing. They didn't numb me up or anything at all. He reached in with his cutty-grabby tool and cut....cut.....yank...cut...and that was it. It didn't even hurt as bad as I had thought it would.
Avatar m tn The thing that worries me as a firm lump in mouth next to my uvula. Behind that on the wall of my throat is what appears to be a ulcer or sore. I never performed oral on the escort and never made any contact with my mouth to anything while there. I have not had any noticeable warts on my penis plus I have the HPV vaccine. What is this on my throat and next to my uvula? Can I get oral HPV without oral sex?
Avatar m tn So for quite some time now I've felt like there is a giant mass of something stuck up behind my soft palette. I'm pretty sure its like mucus getting stuck up in there or not draining right. Sometimes I can use my tongue to sort of suck on the back of my throat (like you're making a clicking noise but with your mouth shut) and it occasionally dislodges this nasty mucus ball that varies in size but is almost always hard mucus with a little bit of runny stuff with it.
Avatar f tn I woke up this morning and my uvula is swollen? Its never happened to me before? Should I call the emergency line or wait until tomorrow?
Avatar f tn So, I occasionally get these weird flesh colored bumps on the sides of my tongue but not on my tongue just the back gum area, and lately I feel like I constantly have a hair in my mouth but it’s cause I have this bump near my uvula and idk what it is! It’s the same type of bump that’s on the sides of my tongue. My doctor didn’t even look at it and just prescribed me antibiotics, and I got tested for Covid and was negative!
Avatar m tn i have one big med size red bump behide my uvula and more lil bumps around it....iv been haveing this for 5 months now....i first got it when i was sick with what i thought was strep throat and then i got better and those bumps were there so i didnt no what they were and for 5 months there still there i dont get any pain at all i feel like i have to spit out mucus sometimes but its not bad....im just really scared and dont know what to do.
Avatar m tn Now, everything in my mouth on my infected side is swollen but not necessarily painful. My gums, tonsil, and arch behind the uvula on my left side are bigger than they should be. I also have a white circle discoloration on the roof of my mouth, but it's not a bump and it doesn't hurt. Is that an ulcer? Other symptoms I've noticed I have include bad breath, nausea, coughing (more so now than before), diarrhea, and some black on my gums (maybe gum disease?).
Avatar n tn For the meantime, you could use Emu oil to the area, it gets deep into the tissues, non scented, it works for everything. it also helps gout, arthritis bumps, its an all around pain reliever. They have it on Amazon. Did your test not say anything about gout ? Any redness ? swelling ? . Magnesium Glycinate supplementation could prevent gout attacks or the like.- Its $4.00 per bottle of 90 pills on line.

Avatar f tn I've notice that my uvula has enlarged a lot to the point where it may lay behind my tongue. For the most part I don't feel a lot of discomfort at all except when I remember about it. Then it begins to hurt a little or feel where it's resting. Other than that I don't feel a think I know it's been like this for a while but I think it's getting larger now. https://ibb.
