My husband was taken to the dr's about 6 wks ago with a small sac growing from the bottom of his uvula and a sore throat. He was prescribed prednisone. The sore throat never went away and now he has what is described as pressure around the throat area. He has a sore throat with this..no other symptoms except that he is tired a lot. The current dr prescribed him a strong Prevacid antacid and thought that maybe he could have acid reflux. His family history includes a sister who had thryoid cancer at 40yr old. He's worried that it's throat cancer...Could it be? The small sac on the uvula did disappear after a few days of using the steroids.
