Uvular Papilloma

by ats925, Feb 21, 2009 12:36PM
After weeks and weeks of enduring a sore throat (some virus?) I looked in my mouth and there was a small "tag" on my uvula.  A few weeks have gone by and the sore throat is gone but the growth on my uvula is a little bigger.  In color it looks similar to the uvula itself, it's just an extention -of sorts- on one side of it hanging down.  I am one who worries a lot when it comes to medical issues, and I'm already panicking about surgery (I fear general anesthesia).  Is there any way this can be resolved without surgery?  I will make an appt. with an ENT shortly, but I would welcome any ideas while I wait for an appt.
Thank you in advance.
Alex
