Hello, bit worried about a flesh skin coloured sac like lump behind my uvula.

Its painless although i did feel a week ago like it was tender to swallow on that side of my throat when eating, i dont notice it, i only found it by accident. it doesnt bleed either. its also not visible when i open my mouth i had to use my finger to push up my uvula and soft pallet to make it visible for the attached pictured

please see the picture attached - any help would be appreciated. thank you.

Infection on the gum line, speak to your dentist for antibiotics.
