Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  Not everyone but some patients may experience a side effect of a chronic sensation of excess phlegm, globus, and dryness. The uvula has salivary glands and does help distribute saliva in the pharynx (like a windshield wiper). In order to minimize this potential side effect, a conservative amount of the uvula is removed.

Best,

Daisy
