Growth in uvula?

Question: I had a strange feeling in my throat like there is some particle and occasionally a slight pain like feeling in the roof of the mouth when I swallow . When looked in the mirror I noticed that the uvula appears longer than usual like a string but it is the same color as the uvula and doesn't look like swollen. Causes disturbance when talking or coughing like there is something in the throat.
What does this mean? Is this of immediate concern that I should see a doctor immediately or should I wait for a few days and see if it goes away by itself. It has been there for 3 days now.
I ate outside and immediately after I seem to have this strange feeling in my throat, looks like thats when all this started.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Answers:
uvular edema is often related to allergies or viral infection. try gargling with salt water and taking benadryl. if it still persists more than 3 more days see your dr.- he/she may prescribe prednisone to help.
