Here is some information about uvulitis and an NHS email address:

What is uvulitis?

Uvulitis is an inflammation of the uvula, which is a small, soft piece of tissue that hangs from the back of the throat. It is usually caused by a viral infection, such as a cold or flu, and can also be caused by bacterial infections, allergies, or irritants in the air.

Symptoms of uvulitis

The symptoms of uvulitis can include:

• Pain or discomfort in the throat
• Swelling of the uvula
• Difficulty swallowing
• Hoarseness or a change in voice
• A feeling of something stuck in the throat
• A sore or inflamed uvula

Treatment of uvulitis

Uvulitis is usually treated with antibiotics if it is caused by a bacterial infection, and with pain relief medication to help manage symptoms. In some cases, a corticosteroid may be prescribed to reduce swelling and inflammation.
