A member asked:
My throat feels dry/scratchy in the front, and my epiglottis has become visible in my throat. is this dangerous? no difficulty swallowing/breathing

Sore throat: This may be a form of infection, possibly viral. What you are seeing is probably your "uvula" which hangs down in back of you throat. You would not see the epiglottis which is further down the throat. Have your PCP take a look at it.
