Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems that you are suffering from Throat infection that can be bacterial or viral in nature leading to UVULITIS..
Coughing occurs due to irritation of throat.

Nothing to worry, start a course of antibiotics like Augmentin or Azithromycin for 5 days.
Take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen it will reduce soreness as well as bumps over uvula.
Do warm saline gargles.
Avoid hot, spicy and hard foods.
Do steam inhalations as it will soothe the throat and prevent coughing.
Chew a vitamin C pellet daily for 15 days.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
