Hello, Edema of the uvula goes off by day 2 or 3 . If still there is edema you should consult your ENT specialist and get your antibiotics changed. There are chances of infection around 7-10 days , that might be causing delayed healing. In addition continue gargles with betadine and hydrogen peroxide , as both being local antiseptic would help in decreasing the edema. Take cold liquids and ice cream. In doubt do reply.
