The Shining Source

I have seen bacterial infection of the uvula alone; this is very rare, especially compared to the incidence of inflammation of the uvula from Group A streptococcal infection ("strep throat"). If the infection is not caused by Streptococcus, it is probably caused by a Staphylococcus infection. Massive enlargement of the infected uvula can potentially cause respiratory obstruction.

But ordinarily, the uvula remains out of sight, out of mind.

hey guys..ive got a weird question for you all.

last night i was just fine, everything was cool...but now it seems that little thing that hangs in your throat (or whatever it's called) is swollen..and really long..to the point where it rests on my tounge..
