What Causes Swollen Uvula?

I woke up with my uvula very swollen. When I finally looked at it in the mirror I was sort of shocked to see that the entire bottom portion is white. What in the world is going on? I've had a swollen uvula when I've had a sore throat before. But im not even sick this time.

Hi!Welcome to Health care magic.
The complaint that you have mentioned in the question is due to infection of pharynx and uvula by bacteria I advice you to consult an ENT surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.I usually prescribe to my patients with such symptoms the following drugs Cefixime,phenylephrine hydrochloride,citrizine,diclofenac and paracetamol.I also advice you to gargle with luke warm salt water.Avoid taking fruits juices, ice water, ice cream and cool drink.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you
