The causes of uvula hypertrophy include acute allergy, acute inflammation, chronic inflammatory stimulation or long-term snoring, which can be relieved by medication and surgery.
1. Acute allergy: Acute allergic reaction can be caused after consuming seafood, mango and other foods, acute edema and hypertrophy of uvula should be terminated in time and contact with allergic foods, oral anti-allergic drugs, such as chlorpheniramine maleate, loratadine, cetirizine hydrochloride and so on, and nebulized inhalation of hormones, such as budesonide, salmeterol, fluticasone propionate and so on, if necessary, to eliminate the edema.
2. Acute inflammation: tonsillitis and pharyngitis caused by viral and bacterial infections can lead to acute edema and hypertrophy of the uvula, which can be treated with anti-infective drugs such as ribavirin, azithromycin, cefprozil, etc. If necessary, glucocorticoids can be applied systemically such as prednisone and dexamethasone in order to play a role in rapid reduction of inflammation and swelling.
3. Chronic inflammatory stimulation or snoring: long-term snoring or chronic inflammatory stimulation can cause hypertrophy of the uvula, which requires surgical treatment, such as ion ablation.
It is recommended to consult the hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease for treatment when the hypertrophy of uvula occurs.
