Hello dear,

The lump in throat near uvula is enlarged Tonsil.
The symptoms mentioned in your post suggests that you might be having Acute Tonsillitis.

Management consists of:
1. Gargle with warm salt water to relieve throat pain.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism.
4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.

If symptoms still persist...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist.
Laryngoscopy will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Meanwhile...avoid cold food & drinks, maintain adequate hydration & take soft, non-spicy foods.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Take care.
