A young homeless man recently presented to a health clinic located in a youth service. He complained that, over the past day, his throat had become increasingly painful with an obstructed sensation. On examination, his uvula was very swollen and red. He had no other significant symptoms and examination was otherwise normal.

The young homeless man's sore throat was caused by a swollen uvula, which was not significant and did not require further investigation.
