Picture of your oral cavity is essential to comment on this.
Your uvula might be bigger because of seasonal allergies to grass or pollen. Or the swelling might be because of dust or pet dander. Certain foods, such as milk, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and eggs, can cause allergic reactions, too.
Next Steps
Uvulitis may get better on its own without medicines.
Antibiotics to treat an infection.
Steroids to reduce swelling of the uvula.
