What Causes A Swollen Uvula After Taking Penicillin For Tonsillitis?
Hi, I currently have tonsillitis and was prescribed penicillin. I ve noticed that my uvula has become swollen and I m having a little more trouble breathing when I m trying to go to bed. My left eye is also a little puffy. Am I allergic to penicillin or is this all normal things that happen?
