//www.healthline.com/health/swollen-uvula#causes I know you say you try to stay hydrated but dehydration is one of the biggest reasons for this occurrence. https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/causes-swollen-uvula This is another really good article. It talks about losing weight as something to try, so yes. I'd work on that too (good for overall health as well).
Do you have any allergies? That's anther culprit. Do you take any medication?
Sinus infections can also cause a post nasal drip and consequent inflammation of the uvula. In spite of adequate treatment if the swelling still persists and if it causing problems with swallowing, then it may need surgical correction. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Regards.
This continued for a while the doctor wasnt concerned and said it should sort itself out, it didnt recently my uvula has swollen and it is touching the back of my tongue.
m lying on my back because it just sits on my tongue and annoys me, but I slept on my side most of the night and that seemed to help both my uvula and the swelling/incision site area. The rest of my throat seems fine, just damaged uvula which is annoying more than painful - I can still eat/drink ok, but if it's still a problem on Monday I will call my doctor to see if she recommends anything.
What bugs me is that I get a swollen uvula a few hours later. It gets big and makes it a bit hard to swollow. Usually this happens when I drink quite a bit of alcohol beforehand, this might be more key to this than the actual oral sex. Maybe this is because of dehydration? Anyways, this makes a pleasant experience a little bit less enjoyable. I would really like to know what causes the swelling, and how to avoid it.
I have read so many forums on home remedies most say wait it out, until I had the uvula swell I was fine with that. Most of the forums that talk about the uvula swelling contribute it to drinking alcholol, but I dont drink. They also say see a DR. if it lasts more than 2 days, but reply that the DR. just gave them prednisone which I can get.
Please someone help, Going crazy worring about it all..
I had my tonsils removed over 2 weeks ago and well my uvula is still swollen and I am not able to eat much.
I wish I can fast forward 2 months in the future to get the swelling down.
I so understand your position though. What I have heard from others is that it can take months for the uvula to get back into proper psition.
Hang in there. All the best.
If you are still uncertain then maybe see the ENT who did the surgery to explain things.
The doctor that diagnosed me was very concerned about the size of my tonsils, he told me that my uvula was deviated and he was worried about them but since he was from a low cost clinic he knew I couldnt afford to go the ER. So, treated me with strep and the swelling went way down. Every since then, I go through days where I still have trouble with the swelling coming back. The problem is that when I search for symptoms everywhere says that sore throat goes along with that symptom.
I had an endoscopy done on Friday and my uvula was really swollen Friday night and Saturday morning. It was purple. It is now Sunday and it is still really swollen, but not nearly as bad as it was. It is no longer purple, but has turned white. I have gargled with salt water today. Any other suggestions for bringing the swelling down and why it is white?
I’m on my 10th day post op but the uvula has been about half inch off from the center amd swollen from day 1 and it’s remained that way ever since despite all the scabs having fallen off already and otherwise little pain by now. I also saw small scab in the base of the uvula indicating that they have cut into it during surgery, perhaps accidentally. I can’t swallow properly due to the deviation and swelling.
Back in May I had an extremely sore throat with white spots on my tonsils thought it would go away on its own ended up with my uvula swelling so bad I thought I was going to choke on it. I went to the hospital immediately they told me I had uvulitis gave me prednisone and told me to take benadryl. I did the whole 5 days of prednisone the sore throat went away and the uvula went down a bit.
I'm pretty sure it's a swollen uvula, not phlegm attached to it, so I won't be pulling at it. Any ways to help it swell down to regular size?
Two days ago I also developed a small swelling on the left side of my hard palate, or roof of mouth. Yesterday the swelling increased to incorporate the majority of the left side.
I also have just gone through the same unique series of ailments which started with a flu roughly two weeks ago. The flu i experienced had its typical symptoms and was minor (only lasting a day).
Hi
I am glad to know that the tests have caught the allergen as dust. However the lips are swollen due to several causes like-“The swelling of lips may be of different types depending upon the causes of their occurrence like swollen lips medically termed as Myxedema or Angioedema, lip inflammation known to be as Eczema or Glucagonoma and enlargements of the lips referred to as Acromegaly or Muccopolysacharidosis.
t solve swallowing issue as I had no swollen uvula.) Later, (around the 10th of July) I got sick, I came down with green/yellow mucus, which lasted only 3 days. After a little while after the green mucus had stopped, I noticed I had a sore throat and my neck swelled up, my lymph nodes became palpable. Now, this is when I started to google my symptoms, from this day forward my "high anxiety" came with crying.
3 days ago in the afternoon I noticed a slight sore throat on the right side. I didn't think much of it and took a nap. When I woke up, it was a bit worse. The next day, it was even a little worse. It has stayed about the same since then. It is only on the right side, it only hurts when I swallow and it often feels like there is something caught in my throat. I looked in the mirror and I see what looks almost like a "skin tag" on the right side of my upper throat, next to my uvula.
I was walking through Burlington looking at baby stuff and my hands started itching soo bad. Then they got super swollen, so swollen it's hard to text. What can I do to bring swelling down?
It is very tiny (less than half a centimeter) and is the same color as my uvula. From certain angles, it just looks like a little flap of skin, but sometimes it dangles and looks like a tiny uvula next to the actual one. Does this sound like anything to worry about? Obviously my biggest fear is some sort of head and neck cancer (I am a 21 year old male, never smoked a cigarette, barely drink alcohol, no history of oral cancer).
I have had a sore throat for about 2 weeks, just the last 7 days little pimple on my tounge have appeared (lie bumps) and my uvula looks like it has burst blood vessles and is swollen.
I'm wondering if you're talking about the uvula, a bit of tissue that hangs down in the center of the throat. You've got one too, look in the mirror. Here is a government website that shows the parts of the inside of the mouth, look for the uvula:

Sorry if you already know about that, but it's what I thought of when you described the problem your child is having.
