Small meatballs in the throat may be uvula, tonsils, lymphoid follicles and so on. 1. Uvula: It is a normal anatomical structure of the body, mainly located in the center of the soft palate in the oropharynx, which can be observed when opening the mouth, mainly to maintain normal diet and pronunciation and other functions. 2. Tonsils: when the mouth is opened, the small meatballs on both sides of the oropharynx are considered to be the tonsils, which may be physiologically enlarged in childhood and gradually shrink in adulthood, mainly to maintain the body’s immune function. 3. Lymphoid follicles: Commonly found in the posterior pharyngeal wall, when found elevated small meatballs, sometimes found more than one, may be lymphoid follicles. No treatment is needed when there is no throat discomfort, and occasionally they may be found on examination. When throat discomfort is found, it is recommended to consult a regular hospital for a clear diagnosis.
