Answers:
The thing in the back of your throat is your uvula!. You have what's called uvulitis!. It's an infection of the uvula and requires antibiotics for treatments!. You should see your general practicioner!. This is not an emergency, however!. You can see him on Monday if it hasn't cleared by then (which it most likely will not)!.
