Enlarged uvula: Swollen uvula you describe is extremely uncomfortable and does cause coughing and chocking sensation. a. no hot drinks. Cool or cold drinks b no gargling c. Clear.ease lozenges are papain/bromelain that reduce this type of swelling. If it remains long and bothersome, removal can be done in the office.
