A member asked:
So when i was looking at the back of my throat i guess i took.a breath and my uvula went up.and down.is that noraml?

Yes: The uvula is mobile and often helps with diagnosing such diseases as stroke, strep throat and abscesses. As well as moving laterally, it moves up and down. It helps to assess the health of a cranial nerve. All the best.
