Lump on uvula

I posted last week about some headaches, dizziness, pain behind my ears and my jaw. Went to family Dr and had some bloodwork done and a CT scan. I am waiting for my results back but over the weekend I felt like I had a sore throat. Then I noticed what felt like a sore spot on my uvula. I looked in the mirror and I can see what looks like a small (maybe pea sized) lump on it. It's sore and it it hard to the touch. I'm really worried now that there is something seriously wrong here. What could cause something like this? I'm getting tired of worrying.

I have a white soar on the tip of my uvula, but the rest of my throat looks fine. Should I be worried?
