Brief Answer:
Depends on painful or non painful lump

Detailed Answer:
HI Sir,
I have gone through your query, age, sex and medical history; it suggests that

1. If you are suffering from the non painful swelling then it may be the papilloma and for this I advise surgical excision.

2. If you are suffering from the painful swelling then it may be epiglottitis swelling and for this I advise
A. Injectable antibiotic and
B. Anti inflammatory drugs

Better to send me the image of your uvula with your symptom for better diagnosis and management.

Wish you good health

Brief Answer:
Edema of the Uvula may be due to smoking

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your follow up query and images; it suggests that you may be suffering from the edema of the uvula and it may be due to the inhaled or ingested allergens such as smoking etc.

In this condition in our patients I personally advise antihistamines, steroids, antibiotics and antacids.
I personally also advise you to stop smoking.
Edema of the uvula is the one of the cause of snoring.

Thanks
