A member asked:

I have a brown and white spot on my uvula and my throat is only sore on that side ? what could this be?

Few possibilities: without an exam, I can only give general information. and a localized area of pain and inflammation generally means an infection. Localized small abcess, usually bacteria that penicillan family treats quite well.
