After waking up this morning I had a sore throat but I didn't really think much of it, but after getting up I felt my uvula felt awkward, like I felt the uvula on my tounge, and know its to the point where its going down my throat and I feel like I can swallow it. When I breathe out it bascially flops onto the back of my tounge, but then when I swallow it starts hanging down my throat again, and its just a horrible feeling knowing that. Plus im kind of scared to sleep thinking I could choke on it or somnething.

I tried eating a few ice pops, and gargling hot salt water but none really made it feel better, what is this? What should I do about it?
