Have Swollen Uvula. Been Taking Penicillin. Why Chest Pain?
Hello, I have a swollen Uvula and have been taking penicillin since monday, there has been some reduction in size of the swelling but i am not getting chest pain ocassionally when taking a deep breath. Also, cant seem to catch my breath when exerting myself. Is this normal? I have a half marathon on Sunday and am a bit worried about not being able to catch my breath
Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
You have probably landed up with an upper respiratory tract infection. Its going to stay for some time and penicillin is going to take some time. You may also start warm saline gargles and take some voice rest. There is nothing to worry as of now. Also you may take some ant acids like ranitidine for the burning chest pain that you are having. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
