Question:
What would cause my uvula(the thing hanging in the back of ur mouth) to swell up every now and then?
My uvula i believe its called(that lil punchin bag looking thing in the back of my mouth) is swollen everynow and then when i wake up. It will go back to normal after a couple of hours but when its swollen to like three times its size it becomes impossible for me to eat or drink anything? What would cause this to happen?
Answers:
My husband had that problem on occcasion, we never checked it out but, attributed it to the nights that he snores a lot and loudly. Maybe it's from snoring too? The soreness usually went away by the next day. But also I don't think that his ever swelled as much as you're talking about so maybe it is more serious. But if you wanted to see if maybe that is the problem I would suggest trying something like blowing your nose before you go to bed and using a Breathe Right Strip through the night. That worked for my hubby.
