Brief Answer:
There is nothing wrong with this uvula!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported n relation to your uvula. The uvula is normal and needs no further attention. However, if you want it removed, you can talk to a surgeon but this would not be a smart decision.
I will advice you to know it is normal and no need to seek for aggressive measures which are not needed.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications. Thanks for trusting using with your health questions today!
