Medical Advice on Uvula - OT Edition

Yup, the little punching bag in the back of your throat. I recovered from a severe fever combo'ed with a sore throat for the past week. I basically have slept 2/3's of this past week and ate basically nothing, but drank plenty of fluids.

Reovery is almost over!... Except, during this crappy week, my ulula was swollen and irratated. That sucked it felt like you were gagging on somethign non stop. So the swelling went down a little but now it has this milky whitish bulge on it. Its disgusting and sore. Someone said it was a scab or a ulula version of one which will go away. Another said it was a oral lymphoepithelial cyst. Don't ask me what that is because I have no idea.

So yea... its gross, irritating, and annoying. Grace me with your brilliance OT! :D

What might it be and what do I do? And besides "go ter yer doctorz" he basically said nothing useful...

Could be a canker sore. Either way, if your doctor wasn't worried about it, I wouldn't worry about it either.GabuEx

Thanks for trying,:) I thought it might be but I know some people who have had those and they say they hurt really bad. Mine is kind of sore and swollen.

I'm one of those people who have had canker sores. :P They're more sore and annoying than cripplingly painful for the most part. If it's swollen, though, that probably isn't a canker sore.

Either way though, I wouldn't worry about it. I think you'll live.

Yeah, I don't think I'll keel over in the next few minutes, but it is rather bothersome. It feels like an alien in my own body...

What if it then consumed my body and now was human size! Zomg!:shock:

[QUOTE="VacantPsalm"]Hm, I wonder if having an alien burst from your Uvula would kill you. Also how much harm it could cause to humanity if it was able to fit in a uvula in the first place.KaptainKernal

I had one once, for about a week and a half. I kept accidentally swallowing on it. It's just swollen.
