How Can Uvulitis Be Treated?
Hi I have uvulitis now for 5 days, was taking 666mg of penicillian and since yesterday this was increased to 875mg penicillian, the swelling has definitely gone down but my uvula is still white and infected which is making eating very uncomfortable, is this normal?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you had an infection and inflammation of the Uvula known as Uvulitis, you are given antibiotic that is helping in reducing infection.
White appearrence of the uvula can be due to pus formation that will gradually get better. For now, continue taking antibiotic and along with it take painkiller like Ibuprofen.
Do warm saline gargles, antiseptic mouthwash gargles and take numbing Lozenges like Cepacol. Sip warm water and avoid spicy foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
