My Uvula Has Been Swollen To The Point That I Have Been Choking On It
My uvula has been swollen to the point that I ve been choking on it. It s much better today but my throat is sore and anything makes it burns. Everything I eat tastes funny and burns my throat. What does this mean?

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
This seems to be pharyngitis, drink plenty of warm water, do gargles with povidone iodine mouth wash. Also consult your ENT specialist in case the throat pain worsens or does not improve, as you might require antibiotics.
Take care
Regards
