A member asked:
What is white chunky stuff on my uvula it makes me feel like a loose skin back there but not hurts when i eat and the sides of my throats are red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dead skin: The white chunky stuff is basically the equivalent of dead skin, probably caused by an infection. It'll slough off when the infection clears.
