Swollen and elongated uvula?

[jembell01 129]

Just wondering if anyone had or is having issues with this. Came home from the hospital and my uvula (hangy down thing at back of throat) is red, swollen about 3 times normal size and is resting on my tongue. Sometimes it "falls" down my throat and gags me so badly I end up throwing up. Dr said that if it doesn't get better, to get a strep test. I had surgery on the 29th and yesterday, the 31st, it started turning white about halfway down at the bottom. Not as huge, but still gagging me.

Anyone else experience this? ????

I thought i was the only one going thru this i had my surgery done on 11/19 and still gagging not as much but i feel it. I hate it!!! I did see the doctor and took tests and they say it should heal on its own. I do the gargle with salt and warm Water and it helps. It does feel like its shrinking but its the worst feeling....

Omg! It is the worst feeling ever. It's like I have something that I need to spit out. It gags me all the time. I can't talk without it getting in the way and choking me. It's the worst. I'd be okay if it weren't for that stupid hangy down thing ????
