I have an enlarged uvula. It gags me. Can this stop me from breathing? Is there anything I can do to shrink it?

Hey If it got worse yes it could stop you breathing properly...I suggest you see a doctor about it...If you have to wait try getting a bowl with hot lemon and put a towel over your head and just inhale the hot lemon it should open up your airways a little good luck Jenny
