What Does A Bump On The Right Side Of The Uvula Indicate?

I have a small bump on the right side of my uvula. My primary Dr. saw it on a check up. He referred me to an ENT but they cant see me for over 3 weeks. Should I try to find another ENT? I also have a sore throat and a long history of sore throats. Plus going to get ultrasound for abdominal pain. (probably unrelated).

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

A bump on the uvula can be due to causes like a mucous cyst or a Mucocele..
If it is painful and inflamed it can be an Abscess..

You should consult an ENT Physician or an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated so that the exact nature of the lump can be ruled out..
If needed an FNAC can be done..

For now you can do warm saline gargles.
Gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lidocaine..
Avoid hot and spicy foods and drink plenty of warm water..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
