The mucous membranes on the sides of my uvula have been whitish in color for several weeks instead of the healthy pink color they usually are. I have no piain or other symptoms, but I find this occurrence troublesome. What do you think this could be?

You may have a fungal infection/thrush. I would see your doctor for proper in person evaluation. In the mean time, try eating yogurt along with gargling with either warm salt water or 1/2 water-1/2 peroxide too.
