What Does Swelling In The Uvula Indicate?

Hello doctor! Just had 5 wisdom teeth pulled out, my uvula is swollen and every time I talk it feels like it’s coming up on top of my tongue. Scary feeling. Feels like something is trying to come up my throat. How long does it take for swelling to go down? Even when I’m talking it feels scary

Follow the below treatment plan:

Use tablet Alday dc twice a day for five days. Use antibiotics accordingly to your health condition.
