From your description there is a fluid area on your uvula. This is usually seen with viral illnesses. The fluid will last about 2-3 days and will resolve on there own. I commend you on doing the salt water gargles. This is the best way to treat the symptoms and allow for proper healing. You can also try tylenol or Ibuprofen if you have pain.
