Product Information

A dry mouth is actually the most common cause of uvulitis and results from persistent irritation. Anything capable of causing a persistent dry mouth, such as dehydration, is also capable of causing uvulitis by extension. Trauma

Several different infections can cause uvulitis, including strep throat, the flu, mononucleosis and croup. But you can also get a swollen uvula from seasonal allergies. Chronic snoring can lead to uvulitis as well. White spots on your uvula Your doctor can find a replacement medication if the swelling in your uvula is causing too many problems. Snoring Certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) could potentially contribute to uvulitis. People whose immune systems have been compromised from HIV and genital herpes are at greater risk of oral thrush, which may lead to a swollen uvula. Trauma Your uvula can be damaged during an intubation, such as during surgery. Your uvula can also be injured during a tonsillectomy. This is a procedure to remove your tonsils, which are located on both sides of your uvula. Genetics Drink plenty of liquids. You don’t want your mouth to get too dry. Water, herbal tea, and popsicles are good options to have around. Don’t drink citric juices, because they can make your throat hurt.An elongated uvula is also hereditary and although this is not swelling per se, it can cause many of the same symptoms due to its size. There is also a rare genetic condition called hereditary angioedema that causes swelling in various parts of the body and can sometimes affect the uvula. Dry Mouth

In addition to a sore throat, a swollen uvula (called “uvulitis”) has several distinctive symptoms that can be easily recognized and reported to your doctor. If you need uvula removal, your healthcare provider will talk with you in detail about what to expect. Can you live without a uvula?Difficulty talking. Due to the role the uvula plays in sound production and how swelling can affect other parts of the throat, hoarseness can develop. Snoring. Severe snoring or obstructive sleep apnea is often associated with a swollen or sore uvula. (Snoring can be a cause or a symptom of uvulitis.) Genetics: A cleft lip or cleft palate is a congenital trait that affects the roof of the mouth. This can cause the uvula to be enlarged, off place, split, shrunken, or even missing. Often, uvulitis goes away on its own in a couple of days. But if your symptoms are severe — or if they linger for more than a few days — you should schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider. How long does it take to recover from uvulitis treatment? If you snore really loud or stop breathing altogether during sleep, you might have OSA. Usually, someone who sleeps near you is the one who’ll let you know if you stop breathing.
