Allergies
Whenever the human body reacts to environmental elements that are typically safe for most individuals, allergies might result. These compounds are referred to as allergens. People will exhibit various reactions depending on the irritant and how it gets into the body. Once allergens are inhaled, the activation of histamine stimulates the walls of the nostrils to create extra mucus, which may become inflamed.
Allergic reactions can affect multiple body areas simultaneously. For example, it makes a person’s nostrils itch and causes eye tearing and swollen throat, eventually affecting the uvula. The uvula may enlarge due to several irritants, such as dirt, hay, pollen, animal dander, or some allergy-causing foods. Skin or tissue swelling is a typical allergy reaction. In addition, specific foods, including dairy products, nuts, and shellfish, might induce allergic responses.
Hives, nasal congestion, and droopy eyelids are other symptoms a person may experience if allergies are the source of swelling uvula. It is advised to avoid allergens if a person shows symptoms of an allergy. Generally, doctors use steroids or antihistamines for allergy medication and epinephrine in treating severe allergies.
