my uvula is swollen and has pus on the tip after i had green mucus coughing out for two weeks.now i cannot cough it out because i choke and instead swallow the green mucous as it cannot come out through mouth.no antibiotics have helped or even no homeopathy has helped it has been a month now .kindly help. thanks.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a peritonsillar abscess. It is an area of pus-filled tissue at the back of the mouth, next to one of the tonsils. The abscess can be very painful and make it difficult to open the mouth. It can also cause swelling that can push the tonsil toward the uvula. I suggest using antibiotics such as Augmentin twice a day for a week. I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I suggest to drink liquids and rest.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
