What Causes Inflammation In Throat Along With Itchy Lump On Uvula?

I am really congested and very fatigued. I got my tonsils removed years ago and where they used to be, it is all white and inflamed. I also have a bump on my uvula that has been itchy for a while. My throat hurts and I simply don t feel good. Is this a viral infection? Or what?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms congestion along with inflammation and white appearance seems to be more commonly due to Viral Pharyngitis along with uvulitis and a bump on the uvula can be an abscess..
Nothing to worry, you can take antibiotics like Augmentin or Azithromycin for 5 days to prevent any bacterial infection..
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Chew a vitamin C pellet daily..
Do warm saline gargles.
Avoid spicy and hard foods..
Steam inhalations and using a humidifier in your room can relieve..
Throat lozenges can be sucked for relief..

Hope this helps..

Thanks and regards.
