Hello
Welcome to healthcare
I think what you are mentioning is uvula. It is present in middle part and attached to the last part of soft palate. It is a normal structure in our throat but in some it is very long and may cause irritation.
But you need not worry. If apprehensive, you can get it reduced to smaller size
