Swollen uvulas

[Ian Price]

Cheers for the responses all. My uvula is now nearly back to normal size. A big relief. Only problem now is that I have suffered some sort of allergic reaction to some tablets I was taking to get rid of/fight a fever. I now look like I have done a few too many hours on a sunbed. Classy.

Anyway - back to work tomorrow so there is everything to be cheerful for!

Does anyone know of any remedies for it?

Ardbeg

Seeing as that response is from you Johnny I'm going to take a complete guess that Ardbeg is some kind of Whisky. I don't even feel the need to look it up on google. That's how strong my suspicion on this one is!

Just got back from hols, hence the rather late response...

I had an inflamed uvula a few years ago (and it occasionally swells up if I have viral infections now). It was hanging down my throat and inducing the gag reflex, which was, frankly, horrible!!!
I could 'throw' up the uvula onto my tongue, which was pretty nasty!
I went to the GP, and she was so disgusted that she called in the other doctors (I never want to hear the phrase 'Oh my GOD! Do you mind if I bring my colleague in to see this, that's incredible!' in that context from a doctor EVER again!).
I couldn't do anything about it, and eventually the swelling went down on its own. Quite uncomfortable!

Hope yours is better now.

In a different context, it might be something to brag about....
