Swollen Uvula, Difficulty Breathing, Cold, Sore Throat. History Of Using E Cigarettes. Suggest

hi i woke up this morning with a swollen uvula and i felt i could not breath, i have started using a e cigerette but have also had a cold,, which do you think it may be? i have not used the e cigerette today and although my throat is still very sore its not as swollen.
i am worried as my 1 year old has a temperature, and i am frightened that if it was an infection this morning then he may get it, and i worry he wont be able to breath
