you need to consult a pcp who can check if you have injuries /erosions in upper respiratory tract or there is any infection in your lungs. once this can be ascertained you will be treated accordingly. your next concern is skin flap hanging in back of neck is uvula. its a normal and part of our soft palate . you will find it in all human beings
