Question:
I recently had surgery, and as a result of this my uvula ended swelling up. Is there anything I can do to?
My doctor said that this sometimes happens but its been about 4 days since the surgery and the swelling has not gone down. He told me to just buy some chloroseptic and some cepacol lozenges. Want to know if anyone has gone through this and what they did and how long it took to take affect. Any other opinions about my situation would be helpfull. Also the surgery was on my lower back.
Answers:
I've had surgery also, and we didn't know I was mildly sensitive to the tube. They asked if I had a problem with latex, but the tube isn't latex. Sounds like that happened to you. It took about a week for the swelling to go down. In the meantime I gargled with cold aloe vera juice (didn't swallow because it is a cathartic and can give me the runs), sucked on cracked ice cubes. Lost weight. (That was a good thing). The other items you mentioned should help also. Good luck.
