What Causes Sudden Onset Of Pain In Uvula?

default
Posted on Thu, 19 May 2016
Question: Very suddenly, (within minutes) i felt pain in my uvula before going to bed last night. It has subsided somewhat but it is now past 9 a.m. and the pain is still there. I just looked with a flashlight and I can not tell if there is anything obvious wrong by looking into my throat. Do you have any ideas what it might be? I was having a bowel movement at the time of the pain occurrence although that would seem incidental. Thank you.
