What Is The Polyp Like Sac Hanging Next To Uvula?

I am a 30 year old healthy female with recurring canker sores and occasional sore throats. I found a small pea sized clear cyst or polyp-looking-sac hanging down from my soft palate next to my uvula on the left side. I pushed on it with a Qtip. No pain but it didn't burst. It's hard to tell if it is fluid filled or harder than that. What do you think?

Hi.thanks for consulting HCM. You seem to be having recurrent tonsillitis. You should visit your dentist once to get a thorough oral examination done. Your sores can be apthous stomatitis. If you have it u can apply topical anasthetic- lignocaine before and after food.take b complex supplements. As for your cyst like growth it may be an abscess. You may require a course of antibiotics.
