I have uvulitis? Any tips?

Question

Basically, this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvula is swollen and in the way when I speak.

It's very unpleasant.

I need advice on how to reduce the swelling as quickly as possible.

I need it to be gone in a few hours.

Thanks.

Answer 1

It will take its time like any throat infection, so forget it "going" in a few hours. In the meantime, warm salt water gargles can make it bearable. It is usually viral, so antibiotics may not be necessary

I think the first answerer understood you perfectly, by the way...

Answer 2

Lots of fluids and natural vitamins found in fruits and veg will help, but you might also need some antibiotics from the doc!

Good Luck, hope you feel better soon
