I've got this white patch on my uvula, and it's been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat all the time. It doesn't burn, itch, or hurt, and I'm pretty sure it's not strep 'cause my throat and tonsils aren't bothering me. What could this be?

I'm feeling a bit off because the right side of my throat has been heavy for about 8 to 10 days now. I haven't had a cough or sneezing, and there's no dry cough either. Also, I haven't traveled anywhere recently. I've tried gargling with hot salt water, but it hasn't really helped. It feels like there's a swelling or something stuck on that side, but when I look, there's no visible swelling from the outside. Could you please help me understand what's going on?

I've had this throat infection for over a month now, and even after visiting an ENT and being on antibiotics for a week, it feels like things aren't improving. There's still some granulation in my posterior pharyngeal area, and I'm not seeing any real change there. I stopped smoking a couple of months ago, which I thought might help. Should I keep trying home remedies? I'm getting a sore throat every morning but no other symptoms. Any advice on what I should do next?
