I've noticed that my uvula seems to be slightly off-center, leaning a tiny bit to the right when I say "aah." I don't really have any other symptoms, but I'm curious if this slight deviation is considered normal. Should I be worried about it?

Uvula asymmetry can be a normal finding in some individuals. As long as you do not have any other symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, sore throat, or snoring, it is likely nothing to be concerned about. Just keep an eye on it for any changes.

I'm chewing about four packets of pan masala every day, and I've recently started feeling a pain in my throat. I'm a bit worriedcould this be cancer or is it just my tonsils acting up?

I'm noticing some vertical purple veins next to my tonsils and the back of my throat looks inflamed. There's also a mild pain when I swallow. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that can resolve on its own?

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
