welcome to Health care magic.
1.You have not mentioned your age and habits - which would have helped me in better understanding the causes.
2. However a lump like condition at uvula which is not reacting on the antibiotics and growing. It needs a needle aspirate/biopsy to find out the consistency of the mass ( Benign/malignant - good/bad tumours)
3.The lumps of neck can be secondary due to the uvula mass - Lymph nodes (could be)
4.So visit your ENT doctor not delaying and get the biopsy of both areas get done and act accordingly.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
