A member asked:
Uvula long enough to swollow and choke on it, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: How long have you had this problem and why if you are having symptoms are you waiting to correct this problem. In any case it would be wise to see an ear, nose and throat doctor now. If this is very recent the cause may be an allergy reaction and that is very serious. See the ENT physician asap.
