Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
I have gone through your query regarding small bluish purple patch with red vessel on either side of uvula of soft palate.
This type of picture is very common in viral infection of throat and this discoloration is because of collection of blood beneath the mucus membrane.
Most of the times it is self limiting and disappears after few days.
Regards.
