swollen uvula treatment

I have had a sore throat for about 2 weeks, just the last 7 days little pimple on my tounge have appeared (lie bumps) and my uvula looks like it has burst blood vessles and is swollen. I don't feel run down and have not been sick, my husband and I have been trying for another baby (unsuccessfully) and even though i don't feel stressed I'm worried it's my bodies way of telling me i am - how do i treat it without medication that may dampen my chances to concieve

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. White patches are common in many throat  infections. The sore throat  which you had may have contributed to it. In response to the infection the body produces soft white debris which collects in the tiny indentations in the tongue and throat. Repeated salt water gargles will help. Mix one teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of warm water and gargle. If the patches increase in size or become painful then consult your doctor.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
