As a separate concept; Various allergic reactions and infections can also cause sudden onset of uvula swelling.

Almost all tissues in our body tend to the ground over time. This is not the only cause of tissue atrophy or loss of elasticity in the tissues. In addition to loss of muscle mass or muscle tone, prolonged uvula may be seen in old age due to many recurrent factors such as uvula contact with hot cigarette smoke, alcohol use, and contact with muscle relaxant products. In the past, elderly patients who did not smoke, snore, did not use alcohol, did sports, did not use muscle relaxants, fed mediterranean style, and whose tonsils were not large may have less uvula elongation.
The longer the uvula grows, the more the snoring sounds, and in fact, the event goes into a vicious circle (the longer the uvula increases, the more the vibratory vibration sounds, the more the complaints of airway stenosis and tired waking also increase). Edema at the tip of the uvula, which is trapped between the large tonsils, is remarkable.
Uvula is located between the tonsils and at the bottom of the soft palate. The snoring complaint is caused by vibratory vibration of the upper airways while breathing and this vibration trauma causes sagging of the uvula and soft palate in time.
