You seem to be having elongated oedematous uvula which usually occurs because of chronic irritation due to factors such as reflux laryngopharyngitis (which is a type of acidity related disorder) or smoking or alcohol consumption. Treatment of primary cause is necessary
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
