Woke up this morning with a big, fat, slug-like uvula, which happens from time to time. (I snore quite aggressively and have mucus issues.) But I never Googled “swollen uvula” until today. Came across this incredible post on the Neill O’Brien blog. I never knew it was such a common problem. It’s nice to know I’m not alone…
Update: This condition is known as “uvulitis”, “uvular edema”, or (my favorite) “Quincke’s disease of the uvula”.
