I've. had. uvula surgery tuesday it hurts worse today than it did wednesday. could it be infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uvula: Unlikely. Probably normal post-op pain. Get some anesthetic lozenges, no mouthwash, no smoking, no alcohol, no salty or spicy foods. Will take three weeks to heal.
