Swollen uvulia ? is it common? normal? not much pain..should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Swollen uvulas can be a sign of allergic reaction, infection or snoring. If it doesn't hurt and you don't have allergic symptoms (tongue swelling, swollen lips) it usually goes downon it's own. If these symptoms start appearing or its not iproving, have someone take a look at it.
