Uncomfortable to swallow, feels like pill stuck in back of throat. can clearly see epiglottis in back of throat sticking up. more saliva than normal.

Uvula not epiglottis: You may see your uvula but it is difficult to see epiglottis. You have pain with swallowing. Feels like something in your throat. I would recommend drinking lots of fluids. Get rest. It may be allergies and post nasal drip. See your doctor for pain after1 week or fevers and worsening. Hope you feel better
