What Is The Cure For The Swollen Uvula That Started After The Sinus Infection?
I have a swollen and ulcerative uvula that started approximately 2 days after a cold ( or sinus infection?) started. I have been on augmentin, Claritin, and ibuprofen for 3 days now. My uvulitis is not better. Warm salt water gargles aren't helping much either. Please help!

Hi, If there is no fever, please use hexidine gargles 3-4 hourly and use some analgesic and proton pump inhibitor. Please apply triamcinolone gel over the ulcerated area with a finger and things should be fine in 2-3 days. regards
