Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC...

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain you have PHARYNGITIS along with UVULITIS leading to abscess formation on uvula and it seems to be due to bacterial infection..
You can take Amoxicillin 250 mg thrice a day as it is considered safe in nursing mothers..
In case if you don't want to take it you can do warm saline gargles 3 times a day..
If there is pain in throat to can take Tylenol..
Drink plenty of warm fluids..
Avoid spicy and cold foods..
Chew one Vitamin C pellet daily..
Drink plenty of water..
Use a humidifier in your room..
Steam inhalation can be relieving...

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
