What is that red thing in the throat that hangs down?


Question:
And have you ever heard of getting a cold sore on it?

Answers:
Please see the webpage for more details and images on Uvula and Herpes Labialis (oral Herpes simplex).
Untreated, the symptoms will generally subside in 1 to 2 weeks. Antiviral medications given by mouth may shorten the course of the symptoms and decrease pain.
That is your uvula. I have never hear of a cold sore on that part, but I am sure it is possible, If it is unresolved in a day or two, see your doctor.
