Uvula issue

New posts
OMG! Mr. Kitty has had that multiple times...very freaky! All he can remember doing (other than gagging) is gargling salt water. Good luck!
 
That stuff is horrible!! I had uvulitis last year (sounds like what you have) and was in SO much pain that I went to the ER. Don't really remember what they did for it, but I have never had my throat hurt that badly. See a doctor, soon.

Never heard of this.:eek: Get better soon!
 
:eek: Feel better soon!
 
gargle with warm salt water will reduce swelling. Biotene mouthwash is good for restoring natural PH of the mouth.

My uvula used to swell up like that after a hard night of snoring (usually following a hard night of spirits:biggrin:) Honestly felt like a piece of steak was stuck in my throat! Did get a consult from a surgeon, and like JB said, the effects of the surgery sounded worse than the problem. I started using a CPAP machine a few years ago and haven't had a problem since.

Is that why you were so quiet at lunch and I had to eat your dessert? Actually I'd put money on these two statements above. I've been through this. It goes away. Salt water does work. However, if it doesn't, see a doctor.
Heck I wish you had said something. I had needle nose plyers in my glove compartment, could have pulled that sucker right out, gave you a bowl of ice cream and you'd be over it by now.

:floor:a fellow trained surgeon. I carry a gutter nail and a 22oz. hammer around with me full time in case I need to perform emergency brain surgery or elective for that matter. Maybe we can barter services :rolling:. I think you still had not arrived when I told the tables.

Sounds like you can perform emergency tracheotomy too. Better keep that stuff in handy. Maybe we can go into business together, kinda like Nip/Tuck!
:eek::funn:
