What Causes Enlarged Uvula And Black Spots At Back Of Throat?

I have an enlarged uvula which is very uncomfortable and giving me the sensation of having a piece of popcorn stuck in my throat. My throat itself is not sore but I have noticed some black spots on the back of the throat around the tonsils area. I am a non smoker. Please advise
