What Does A Small Lump On Uvula Indicate?

I have a small lump on the right side of my uvula its been there about two weeks. It doesn t hurt and I only notice it when I wake up breathing from my mouth and it feels like there s something stuck in my throat. It appeared after cleaning an extremely dusty house and I m dealing with seasonal allergies. What is it and will it go away on its own?

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing you concern.
As per the history posted here it appears that there could be lymphoid tissue growth due to infection.
In my view please meet your ENT specialist and go for clinical examination.
It might also require a course of antibiotic for around five days.
Meanwhile please do warm saline rinses twice daily.
This should help.
Thanks.
Take care.
