Natural Remedy for Relief from Swollen Uvula
Ever Woken Up with a Swollen Uvula? Here's Something Natural to Get it Back to Normal..
The uvula is made of the same lymphatic tissue as the tonsils and can become swollen for a number of reasons. The most common is a very dry mouth, sometimes caused by dehydration from drinking alcohol. Other causes include throat infections, which can sometimes spread from the tonsils to the uvula, or allergic reactions.
The first thing to do is deal with possible dehydration by drinking plenty of water. If you have a sore throat as well, a good home remedy is to mix a quarter of a teaspoon of turmeric powder with a teaspoon of honey and lick it slowly from a spoon.
Gargling with a cup of warm salt water with a pinch of turmeric added will help reduce any swelling and discomfort in the throat too, gargle before going to bed for the best results.
The swelling usually subsides within a few hours.
