My uvula has been swollen to the point that I have been choking on it

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
Dr. Naveen Kumar
