Dysphagia patient, how do i get dried mucus off of uvula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Warm gargles: You can try warm water gargles to start. Gargle with your head tilted back and spit the warm liquid out with the hopes to loosen up the dried mucus and get it off your uvula. If you can not get it off, then see the ENT dr. for eval. Best wishes.

Nasal mucus traps virus in the air, right? So, if a tiny bit of such mucus accidentally gets in my mouth while blowing my nose, I may get infected?

I've had a funky cold(see previous question)and in the morning the roof of my mouth is coated in mucus--some of it is dried. I wiped some out with some toilet paper, and it came back with blood on it.
