A member asked:
Why does my uvula look white on the part dangling? had outpatient surgery last week.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritated: Sometimes the uvula gets irritated when a breathing tube presses on it during surgery. You can gargle with warm salty water to help. Chlorasceptic mouth spray can help with pain. Will take about 2 weeks to heal.
