Hello,
Pus pocket behind the uvula may be a peritonsillar or posterior pharyngeal wall abscess or infection or ulceration.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Use tablet Pantoprazole. Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
