Question 1

I have white spots on my uvula and on my tonsils, and it feels like there's a big lump stuck in my throat,and it kinda hurts to swallow what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like strep throat.  A quick visit to your doctor should verify.  Usually a round of antibiotics will resolve the issue.  If it is painful ask for a viscous lidocaine rinse.  This will numb the area while your body recovers.  Hope this helps!

Question 2

My tonsils and uvula are really swollen and theres white spots on them what's goin on?

This could be a viral infection as it can present with redness, swelling, pain and white patches. Strep throat is another cause but it often has a higher fever and more clinical/body symptoms where the viral is usually more local symptoms.  Viral is self limiting but strep can have long term side effects with non-treatment, best to have it checked out by local doc or walk-in clinic.

You should see your doctor if you have high ever, worsened sore throat or you feel quite sick. In the mean time, you can gargle your throat with saltwater (1/2 teaspoon in 8 oz) every 4-6 hours, use OTC steroid inhaler (nasacort or nasonex) for nasal congestion, twice a day and tylenol as needed for sore throat & fever along with good hydration.

It sounds like you have an infection of the pharynx.  You should be tested for strep throat, which requires antibiotics for treatment.

Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
