Problem with uvula
 Login/Join 
Posted
I noticed this morning that my uvula has 2 new thin red lines running down the length of it and more lines near my tonsils. I also seem to salivating more than usual. I've booked an appt. to see my doc on tuesday but i've been driving myself crazy. I'm 26/male/non-drinking and quit smoking 3 years ago. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Donnie

The lines are probably capillaries visible owing to the inflammation. Not likely to be a cancer, I think. But see your doctor and let us know.

Best wishes
