Common Questions and Answers about Uvula swollen and sore throat

swollen

Avatar n tn Days 2-10 swollen tonsils with white patches (extremely painful). Now my uvula is swollen and sitting on my tounge. Ok so heres what I have been using to combat this. Gargle with salt water, Drink warm water with honey and lemon, Tylenol for pain (actually works for once), had some fluticasone propionate for nasal congestion (stopped working so switched to afrin) and zinc cough drops. Ok heres my question, at what time should I be worried and go see a doctor.
Avatar f tn The roof of my mouth is white, and the uvula is swollen and almost touching the back of my tongue. I feel like I should keep swallowing. Never happened before. No new foods, meds, etc.
Avatar m tn The problem is that when I search for symptoms everywhere says that sore throat goes along with that symptom. I do not have a sore throat. It has gotten bad enough now that my throat feels closed off and when you look inside my mouth you can clearly see there is not much space between tonsils and my uvula is rubbing one of them.THe tonsils appear to be slighty red but other than that they do not appear to have spots or white anything on them.
Avatar f tn I came across another infection,i just had quite smoking to get releaved from irritants im trying garlic juice with is very horrible and painful on an irriting to my uvula and throat, but im thimking if its a bacteria infection then it might be killing it with that just waiting to see crossing fingers i hope i get better and hope this help.
Avatar m tn The area of the throat directly behind the uvula and the right tonsillar pillar was red and sore. Slowly, over the past few days, the uvula has shortened, but still rests on my tongue. The lower third of it is now grayish-white. The area behind the uvula is looking better and so is the tonsillar pillar, but my posterior mouth is so sore! It seems to be sore above my soft palate, posterior tongue, uvula, and throat. In looking at my mouth, it looks mildly red, not too remarkable.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn I went to the doctors today to get tested for herpes. I have a sore throat, plus 2 bumps on my uvula. Plus a little bit swollen on my lymph nodes. I asked the doctor if that's what it was, was herpes? She said no she didn't see any lesions. But does 2 bumps on the uvula & a sore throat sound like a symtom? I'm freaking out & im scared. :( any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn 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. Then around the middle of June I noticed it felt like something was stuck in my throat I looked and my tonsils seemed to be really swollen but no pain. At that time I had no health insurance so I couldn't get to the doctor. I gargled with salt water and the swelling went down some.
Avatar n tn He does have what appears to me to be an elongated uvula (drags the back of his tongue) but he says it feels like he has something in the back of his throat that needs coughed up. Nothing ever does come up and he has no nasal drip. I've looked at his throat and everything looks good. Nothing swollen. Could this just be from his uvula? Should I take him to an ENT? Our doctor just brushed it off last time I mentioned it.
Avatar m tn I'm 19 years old. Almost 2 months ago I woke up and noticed my uvula was long, it resting on my tongue was very uncomfortable. I waited a few days before saying anything to anyone to see if it would go down on its own. When I finally got checked out I was diagnosed with mono. I didn't have any high fever, And my throat wasn't sore in the traditional since(pain when swallowing or eating) but the irritation from my uvula touching my tongue is driving me crazy.
Avatar m tn You may wish to see an ENT doctor about your swollen uvula, since any kind of swelling in your throat can aggravate upper airway obstruction.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn I have bumps in my throat behind my uvula, my uvula seems a little red as does the palate around it. Both sides of my throat by the uvula are swollen and I don't know if my tonsils are swollen or not but it looks as if so. There is a bit of white patches on both sides of throat by uvula. Also my tongue is always dry! I don't know exactly what's wrong. Anyone have any idea?
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn Recently, ive been having a lot of health struggles for about almost 2 months. It started out with me lying in bed, in the beginning of June, I remember lying there and feeling a lump in my throat, like I could swallow. I rushed to the ER, they said it was my uvula and that it was swollen (it really wasn't) and sent me off with some medicine. I went to the ER 3 days after that, and they tested me and also claimed it was my "swollen uvula".
Avatar f tn Ive had this problem with my throat,Nomatter how i would brush my tongue and teeth not to long afterward id still have this smell like how men have.like a mans breath.Im a female so its embarrasing.And i know i shouldnt have this problem.Nomatter what i do i still have this issue and the swollen area goes all the way down the back of my throat as far as i can see and its worse on my left side.So ill post some pics up n maybe someone could tell me what this is.
Avatar m tn Hi, it would appear that your throat issues are from the surgery not and std and getting and std from giving oral sex is really low risk for many reasons so i would rule that out.
Avatar f tn I thought my throat was just dry or sore from the acidity from my stomach, but I looked at it in the mirror anyway. My left tonsil is very swollen along with my lymph nodes and the back of my throat. I also noticed these white head (as in pimple) looking things right behind my uvula. Is this tonsilitis? Or am I just overreacting? Thanks!
Avatar m tn 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. That area seems swollen as well. I think that is my tonsil. In any case, does this sound like tonsilitis or strep? I don't really have any other symptoms...I feel ok other than the throat and have not been running a fever.
Avatar f tn They were just slightly irritating, so i was looking at them in the mirror and i noticed that the back of my throat is pretty red and it looks like there are small bumps. Also it looks like my uvula is discolored (an almost yellowish spot). my throat doesnt really hurt at all just a slight irritation. I fear it may get worse. Anyone have any ideas of the cause?
Avatar f tn 7 days ago - I found a cut in the left side of the back of my throat and little red marks on my uvula. It seemed to have been there for a few days. 6 days ago - the cuts disappeared. 2 days ago - a lymph node in my left armpit is extremely swollen and painful about 1.5 cm in diameter 1 day ago - a lymph node in my right armpit is tender and slightly swollen and very painful, peasized today - I looked on the inside of my mouth and found that my left tonsil is very swollen.
Avatar m tn soar throat appears , inflamed uvula disappears at the end of the day,slightly swollen lymph nodes on neck( apologies cant really tell the difference from a normal sized lymph node) day24: soar throat becomes server then disappears at the end of the day. Finally day25: Everything disappears but left with the ulcer from the pimple in my mouth. NB:I had no diarrhea, or rashes, I took antibiotic medication and mouthwash for these symptoms . My question is 1.
Avatar f tn Possible uvulitis .....check if your uvula is swollen ...
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with step and put on a z-pack. My throat is swollen and sore, I can barely swallow. I have also noticed a large pus pocket right next to my uvula. It's been 3 days and I haven't gotten better at all. Is there anything else a doctor can give me to try and get the pus pocket and sore throat to go away?
Avatar n tn Anyways, monday night I started to feel a little sore and swollen in my throat, my ears were hurting and my glands were kinda sore. I went to the ER and the triage nurse looked at my throat and said that my tonsils and uvula (the little punching bag) are really swollen and red, but no pus, and no fever, but i felt warm to the tough. She kinda gave me the impression that something was really wrong.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn lol Unfortunately i woke up this morning with my uvula literally so swollen and elongated that it is laying on the back of my tongue and it is now covered in white plaque. HORRIBLE, have you ever had a sensation trigger your brain to keep making you swallow and swallow trying to get down your own body part. EW. and half of my throat was so swollen that my throat had shrunk visibly by half!! immediately called doc and said, "problem!
Avatar f tn As I was sweeping it I must have breathed some in. Since then this is two months I have had problem with swollen uvula in the throat, hoarsness and some wheezing on exhale, also swollen glands in the neck and burning pain in the neck area. I also have itchy forehead, with little rash. I am tired and worn out most of the time. Could this be some allergy or virus? I went to ENT today and he never said much, only that he wants me to have allergy tests done. It bothers me a lot lately!
