Small bumps on uvula

I am a 32 year old male.I have had small flesh colored bumps on my uvula for months now. I recently had my tonsils removed due to an enlarged tonsil. Biopsies came back negative for malignancy, negative fungal and negative HPV. I was told it was due to chronic infection. The bumps on my uvula were there before surgey and are still there now. they haven't really changed in size but I have noticed that there may be more appearing. I have tried asking the doctors what it could be, but they seem unconcerned. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I push to see an ENT? I just want to make sure there is nothing sinister going or if it could have something to do with my enlarged tonsil...

I had the same problem. What I did was I dried the back of my throat with tissue, then I grabbed a hold of it, squeezed it, and it popped. There was a silicone consistency to it and a bit of blood. I gargled warm salt water and it seemed fine the next day. It looks like its gone and I did this two days ago.

I'm worried now because I've heard stories of people popping things in their mouth, and those things turned into cancer, which resulted in death.. I'm super paranoid lol. And a bit of a hypochondriac to boot. Good luck with ur uvula bump! Please update me on your situation.
