Detailed Answer:
Hii. You can elaborate your complaints. What is your complaint now? Are you having difficulty in breathing, swallowing or any change in voice? Are you having any fever? Why / how do you feel your uvula is swollen?

Sometimes any viral or bacterial infection or any allergic reaction can cause swelling of uvula and the tonsils also. In that case you need to start an antiallergic tablet, antibiotic, steam inhalation after prescribed by the doctor. You can do betadine gargle. You need to send a throat swab for culture and sensitivity in the laboratory. You may also need to send smear for tuberculosis also. So you need a thorough check up. Therefore I suggest to consult an Ent surgeon and get your throat nose checked.
