Uvula Friend

2018-03-23 23:05:03
I have a small flap of tissue hanging in the back of my throat to the right of my uvula. It doesn’t hurt and my throat isn’t irritated. Since I noticed it three weeks ago, if anything, it’s gotten smaller & seems to be loosening. I’ve been gargling salt water which seems to help. Basically I just want to know if anyone else has had this.
