Swollen tonsil/uvula: You may have tonsillitis, infection of the tonsils. Sometimes an abscess(pocket of pus) can develop around one tonsil and cause the uvula to deviate towards it. You need to go to an ED, as soon as possible to get evaluated, especially with the increasing breathing difficulty. You need treatment!

Uvulitis: With an apparent infection in your throat and upper airway especially with difficulty breathing you need to be seen right away. This is one of those times a visit to the ER is absolutely needed. Go right away!!
