Prob able infection, viral, bacterial, or fungal. See your General Physician or Urgent Care. Referral to a specialist ENT may begin order.

Hello, the swelling of the uvula typically will take some time for resolution. The uvula lies in a dependent position. The timing will also depend on the degree of swelling. Snoring? Apnea’s? In my practice, I may prescribe steroids. If you are having trouble swallowing or breathing, you'll obviously need to be seen in an ER. Consider an ENT evaluation. Good luck and I hope this helps.
