Lump on Uvula

Hi there, 

I've found a small lump on the side of my Uvula, I am very prone to tonsillitis so I always check my mouth. I've been to the doctor and they had a look and said they could not see anything... I've got pictures on my phone to prove there is a lump but the doctor refused to believe me. 2 weeks later I'm still checking as the lump is still there but I'm very reluctant to go back as I don't want them to say nothing is there again. Would anyone be able to help me? 

  • Hi Charliematt and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about the difficulties you've had with your doctor. I'm not sure from your post if there is more than one doctor at your GP surgery, but if there is you could try booking in with them for a second opinion. You can find out more just here.

    I hope you're able to get this resolved and that you hear back from some of our members who have been in a similar predicament soon.

    Kind regards,
