Hi..
Thanks for the query..

A lump behind the uvula on palatopharyngeal arch can be due to infection leading to abscess formation..
It can also be an inflamed minor salivary gland..
First of all consult an ENT Physician and get it properly examined..
In case if it is due to infection then a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and serratiopeptidases can help..
Along with it do regular warm saline gargles..
Avoid spicy and hard foods..
If it still does not improve then a Biopsy can be done..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
