Lump on uvula

Hi. I have been in and out of the ENT and GP being referred back and forth for a swollen lymph node under my jaw and neck and was discharged after an ultra sound scan saying it was "benign looking" both on the right I also had a lump on my uvula it's not just a bump it's a round bump almost like it's splitting to 3 bumps. It was there for all of my appointments the first ENT noted it but the second when I had the scan wasn't at all attracted to it and said I have inflamed throat due to silent reflux I have taken the meds for 5 months and gAviscon daily I have no symptoms of reflux but she said it's likely when I'm sleeping. The lump on my uvula has never gone down and if anything is getting bigger..... my GP said ENT are not bothered about it so neither am I, but couldn't tell me what it is. Has anyone else has / got a lump on the uvula I am awaiting a third ENT app to look at it as it hasn't gone away.. I also get small bumps that seem to come and go above the uvula to the hard palate and feel discomfort when I swallow on

the left. I have a small white lump on my right tonsil and seem to get white under my tongue that I can wipe away with a towel the GP said thrush and has given me a gel and drops but neither have made any difference it's hard to get in front of a GP and these are mainly phone appointments as they are not keen to look inside the mouth still. I have a dental appointment in a few weeks to see what light he can shed but quite worried about the lump on the uvula as I struggle to find similar online 
 

many thanks

  • Hi. I hope this issue has been resolved as I can see it was from last year. I have the same lump on my uvulva and couldn't find anything online. However, having seen a very good ENT, he said it's in reaction to silent reflux. I think that's why lumps are coming and going in my mouth elsewhere. My reflux is quite severe and has affected my breathing so I think this sounds completely plausable.

    I hope you've got to the bottom of it but I think the silent reflux explanation makes sense seeing as I'm having the same issue as you.

  • Bless you, so pleased to hear that, because at the moment I'm waiting to see a E.N.T specialist soon regarding my uluva.
