I've got this weird thing where the skin is kind of hanging from the tip of my uvula, and it's touching my tongue. It's giving me this constant tickling sensation. There's no swelling or anything, but it's pretty annoying. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

that could be pharungitis,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
