What Is The Odd Thing In The Back Of My Throat?
I noticed this odd thing in the back of my throat. I never actually noticed it till a few months ago after I had strep. It hasn't really bothered me but it still looks odd. I did some research and believe it could be my epiglottis. Should I be concern about it or is it normal?

It is probably the swollen UVULA.
If you had Streptococcal infection recently then it may be the 2 tonsils one on each side of the Uvula. The usually regress with daily gurgle with diluted Chlorohexidine for 2 weeks.
you can get Throat swab C/S test done.
