A member asked:

Woke this morning with something hanging down in back of throat, sore, felt like postnasal drip but was tissue. adenoids? went away as day went on.

Uvula: You probably noted a prominent or swollen uvula. Dry mouth was a probable cause as you had no other symptoms to suggest an allergic reaction, irritation from certain foods, or infection as possibilities and the swelling or prominence subsided rather quickly.
