How many days until the uvula swelling goes away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an ENT: If this question has not been answered, it has been on line for at least three weeks. So I would like to address your problem. A swollen uvula should have resolved within 1 to 2 weeks if viral infection. You do not mention pain. Therefore, you may simply have an enlarged uvula. The main problem with that is snoring and or a sleep disorder. See ENT doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
