hello, thank for ur query, red swollen vuala due to injury May progress can cause airway obstruction, take him to ent surgeon for d depth of injury and measurement swelling for proper treatment. salt water gargling alone may not help. he requires oral antibiotics and pain killers or steroids. all d best. take care.
