Drink plenty of liquids. You don’t want your mouth to get too dry. Water, herbal tea, and popsicles are good options to have around. Don’t drink citric juices, because they can make your throat hurt. To get rid of the swelling, you need to treat what's causing it. A doctor can tell you whether that’s a virus or bacteria. Most infections caused by a virus don't have a treatment. You just wait for them to clear up. If the problem is caused by bacteria, your doctor may suggest antibiotics. Your uvula is made of connective tissue, glands, and small muscle fibers.

Causes and Symptoms of Uvulitis

A mixture of medical and home remedies can be employed to deal with a swollen uvula. Some solutions are more suited for swelling from certain causes more than others. Medication The muscular part of the uvula ( Latin: musculus uvulae) shortens and broadens the uvula. This changes the contour of the posterior part of the soft palate. This change in contour allows the soft palate to adapt closely to the posterior pharyngeal wall to help close the nasopharynx during swallowing. [5]

There are many theories about what causes the uvula to swell, including dehydration (e.g. from arid weather); excessive smoking or other inhaled irritants; snoring; allergic reaction; or a viral or bacterial infection. An aphthous ulcer which has formed on the uvula can also cause swelling and discomfort. [11] Often, uvulitis goes away on its own in a couple of days. But if your symptoms are severe — or if they linger for more than a few days — you should schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider.
