A member asked:

How do i treat a swollen uvula after treatment for strep throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should resolve: If you tested positive for strep throat and were treated adequately with appropriate antibiotics then your symptoms should resolve. If you have completed treatment but are still experiencing symptoms a recheck and possible retest are good ideas.

Dr A Freisleben-Cook and another doctor agreed
