Swollen uvulas
« on: February 07, 2009, 07:13:31 PM »
I am suffering from one of these at the moment. Feeling incredibly pathetic and sorry for myself! It's basically about 3 times the size it should be and in constant contact with my tongue. Not nice as it means I can't talk properly and am constantly having a build up of saliva which is rather disgusting. It is combined with a sore throat as well so happy times lay ahead for Mr Price.

Does anyone know of any remedies for it?

I think I have a swollen brain because I read the title as Swollen vulvas.  Needless to say I was expecting very NSFW content. :lol:

I agree with every post so far.

I would definitely recommend using some powerful mouthwash if you don't already.

I've had a slew of throat infections in the past and using alcoholic mouthwash has killed that off completely.

Incidentally I have two; one large one and a smaller one at the side; probably just cleft by some freak of nature.

How very strange. I would normally ask for photos on something unusual - in this case I won't be asking for them!

Will get some mouthwash on it and see what it has to say about that!

i have a swollen cervical node, now thats a funny sounding swelling!! ;)

just for clarification its in my neck, i am not hiding a cervix anywhere about my person

generally it happens anytime i am fighting off a throat infection, the current one has been around for a couple of weeks now though so its on the verge of being worrying

Yeah, I wouldn't want to run the risk of swallowing the camera anyway...

Well, now I know what uvulas and cervical nodes are, thanks to Google.  You learn a lot hanging around this forum.

Funnily enough, I had what felt like a couple of lumps/swellings on the back of my tongue last week, but they disappeared fast.  Or maybe I forgot about them because I then got a sore throat and another cold.  So far in 2009 there hasn't been a single day when I've felt 100%.  :(

Good luck sorting out your swellings, guys.

 :D Sadly I didn' take any pics of it. Not quite so sad is that my uvula is, although still swollen, now reducing in size and I am getting close to my 'normal' voice.

Gargle with tea tree oil but do not swallow it! Colloidal silver can be dripped onto the swollen area. Calendula complex ( made by Bioforce). These are the things that Mrs 38th suggests.
