Hello I was just wondering what the flesh coloured bumo on my uvula is. It has been irritating me for about 8 months now. It looks like a pimple on my uvula that wont pop. It prevents me from singing I had a very sore throat for a month when I got it, since then I have quit smoking. Should I see an ENT and do I need a referral from a family doctor in order to see one in Ontario?
Hello read through your query accordingly I must say that nothing to be worried in this case. It can be caused due to trauma(like fish bone or shell scratching through it)or any burns (while having hot food).or some constant irritation to that area. So I suggest you to meet p an ENT and get it treated based on the present clinical condition(as diagnosis said by me is purely based on your symptoms said by you treatment plan can vary depending on the clinical presentation). In the meantime I suggest you to1)do warm salt water gargle(to increase healing)2)do tongue scraping(to avoid transfer of microbes of tongue to cause infection there)3)do chlorhexidine mouth rinse4) Chat Doctor. COOL and HAPPY MIND can be the best medicine for any disease condition of the body. Hope you are benefitted something =g from this reply. Have a Healthy Day!!!!
