The uvula is located at the back of the soft palate in the throat, hanging down slightly above the base of the tongue. Its function includes assisting in speech, swallowing, and preventing food from entering the nasal passages during swallowing.
The pharynx is the area at the back of the throat where the mouth (nasal cavity) and nasal cavity meet. The portion behind the nose is the nasopharynx, and the portion behind the mouth is the oropharynx.
A throat dangler typically refers to something stuck in the back of the throat, causing discomfort or difficulty swallowing. It may be a physical object or food item that needs to be removed to alleviate the sensation. If you experience persistent throat discomfort, it's important to seek medical attention.
It is not recommended to touch your uvula as it can trigger the gag reflex and potentially lead to choking. If you need to examine your uvula, it is best to consult a medical professional for a safe and proper evaluation.
Swelling in the back of your throat could be due to inflammation from an infection like strep throat, tonsillitis, or even allergies. It's important to see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or other interventions depending on the underlying cause.
