What Causes Red Uvula After Wisdom Tooth Extraction With Local Anesthesia?
My uvula (the thing in between two tonsils) seems to be one and half inch long and red at the lower half towards the tip pointy area - this happened after my two upper wisdom tooth extraction with a local anesthesia! Are they related (anesthesia and this new development)? I'm feeling very uncomfortable (at times I'm choking and/or feeling this uvula entering my throat). What is this ... how will this get back to normal?

hello,
I've gone through your query. During extraction of upper wisdom teeth with local anesthesia causes some discomfort in throat or nearby region because of numbness developed by local anesthesia and it returns to normal as the effect of anesthesia is withdrawal. It remains hardly for a hour or two. If it is longer than that you should consult with your physician.
Thanks and take care.
