good day every one. without writing a long story, recently my uvula has grown longer than before and sometimes it doesn't allow me to breath very well.
friends are advancing me to visit a specialist and as well remove it if possible, not that i am afraid to do so but because i know uvula itself has his own good advantages in our body..
though this is the little fear i am having.
if I remove it
1. will it allow me to eat?
2. how many days those it take to heal?
3. will it affect my voice?
4. does uvula grow back after removing it.

Good evening I am in a similar predicament, how did you treat the elongated uvula. Thanks as your response will be much appreciated.

Look, na for Naija I hear of cutting uvula when there is an infection.

Treatment: Uvulitis may get better on its own without medicines. Depending on the cause, you may prescribed:
* Antibiotics to treat an infection
* Steroids to reduce swelling of the uvula
* Antihistamines to treat an allergic reaction
Your provider may suggest you do the following at home to ease your symptoms:
* Get lots of rest
* Drink plenty of fluids
* Gargle with warm salt water to reduce swelling
* Take over the counter pain medicine
* Use throat lozenges or a throat spray to help with the pain
* Don't smoke and avoid secondhand smoke, both of which can irritate your throat

you will eat but ofcourse, you will be missing parts of your uvula

Expect discomfort to last as long as it will

only if the person who does it cuts through the wrong tissues.
[quote author=lawalosky post=69149364]4. does uvula grow back after removing it.

Never!
