Brief Answer:
Consider indoor care at a tertiary care hospital.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. I noticed several queries on the same condition since 8th October, but refrained from answering them to enable you to get multiple opinions.

2. I have now compared your earlier image with the latest one, and I agree with you that your uvula is still inflamed.

3. At this point I would advise patients to be admitted to a tertiary care center for intravenous medication.

4. Have you ruled out snoring and angioedema? Which medication have you had?

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
