I Drank Quite A Few Shots Of Hard Liquor Yesterday
I drank quite a few shots of hard liquor yesterday (40% ethanol by volume) and today I believe it is my uvula is very swollen that when I swallowed to eat my breakfast this morning it was very tender and painful in the roof of my mouth and had pressure/tightness underneath my ears in my throat. breathing is fine and normal although when I breathe in my nose I can feel either my soft palate or uvula is inflamed. Is there anything you can recommend? Based on excessive drinking yesterday I'm hesitant to take a NSAID today.
