What Is The Treatment For Throat Pain?
I am a 19 year old female, i weigh 157 pounds and am 5'4 and a half. My throat hurts a lot to swallow and i feel it is also giving me bad breath, and i have a piece of meat hanging down from my uvula, and it seems when I swallow, it moves. Is this normal?

hello
it is not normal for a piece to hang from the uvula and it may be a growth , i would like you to meet your ent doctor as soon as possible for examination and further advice. meanwhile you can start gargling with warm salt water 2-3 times a day.
Take care
