Red Uvula and pain when swallowing

Hello everyone

I'd like to get your opinion regarding an issue I'm experiencing. To get straight to the point I notice that my uvula is a little bit red the last 2 days. Not sure if it is related but to mention that as well I had my ear blocked from earwax which usually happens in my life sometimes and it's harmless. However I used some alcohol ( 2-3 drops ) in order to unblock my ear BUT in the past I remember that 2 times that I used a med with drops specified for ears ( for this purpose ) caused some throat irritation/soreness right after I used those drops. Now it is not med from the pharmacy but I suspect how can it also be a coincidence again? Even if it is and there is a throat 'condition' now, I do feel pain only when swallowing and it began slowly feeling it from my left side of the throat and gradually became a little bit more intense now that I feel the 'pain' in the 'middle' when I swallow. Moreover I don't have any other issue at all. NO fever NO tiredness NO cough etc. I feel perfect. What's going on then, if it was a covid/another viral ilness wouldn't it cause something more as well? Can it be an ulcer? I don't see my throat red in general either, it's just the uvula red and there are no other 'signs' on the palate etc. I also did a rapid antigen test and it was negative.

Would you say it's nothing important and I'm panicking without reason? What's your opinion?

Thank you in advance

Best regards

Bill
