No: Interesting location for this kind of blister. Best to let it run its course and let the body take care of it. If you pop it, you will then have an open wound which can become infected. So, stay clear of it. you may wish to gargle with hot salt water to help sooth it and possibly speed recovery. Good Luck.

Not recommended: Most blood blisters on the uvula should go on their own. If the blister persists for more than 7 days, see a doctor for treatment.
