Can Smoking Cause Swelling In The Uvula?
Hello, I m been wondering is it possible to get swollen uvula by smoking? My uvula is swollen already few days... and it been over a year that my uvula gets swollen just in morning.... I read it could also be from snoring, I don t really snore... But I do admit that lately my nose was stuffy so I probably did snore... Any tips n help?
