Could Longer Uvula Be A Sign Of Auto Immune Disorder?

Just at the dentist with 3 year old healthy boy. Dentist mentioned his uvula was a little longer than normal and hooks to the left, which may be a sign of an autoimmune disorder. Can you help point me in the right direction or have you ever heard of this??

Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic.com.

- in my opinion, you should not worry as long uvula is not related to autoimmune disorder.
- in autoimmune disorder, there is inflammation of joints, hepatitis, pancreatitis, uveitis.
- I think that you should not worry about this.

I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
