DH got back from work and said he felt as though something was stuck to the back of his tongue but that he couldn't dislodge it/get it off.

Just got the torch out (as you do!) and had a look in his mouth and his uvula (that's the flappy bit between your tonsils - had to look it up, didn't know it was called that) has sort of stretched and is sitting on the back of his tongue! HOW weird is that?!!!

In any case, we're wondering whether that's what DD2 has which is why she's coughing over and over and over but it's really hard to see in her mouth because she always gets her tongue in the way and you can't see past it.

Do these things just return to normal or should I sent DH to the doctor (like he'd go ... ha!ha!ha!)?

Lots of people have long uvulas and never notice until they become inflammed (when they have a cold or laryngitis)- its a normal variant and nothing to be concerned about.

I must admit, I also read the title as vulva.....sorry!

Well now I know how to reel in the punters ... just put 'vuvla' in the title of the thread!

DH thinks that his uvula
