I've been having this weird sensation where it feels like my uvula is always touching my tongue. It's like there's something stuck in my throat and I keep feeling the need to swallow it down. I dont have any trouble swallowing or issues with my voice right now, but its getting a bit uncomfortable. What could be causing this?
