What Is The Flap Of Skin Behind The Tonsils?

There is a flap of skin behind the tonsils (back in the throat) on my left side and droops more than my right side. I'm worried that it will obstruct airflow. My tonsil are fine and this is not the soft pallet either. What is that flap of skin called and is this normal?
