If you are facing with uvula enlarge problem then don't panic more than 95% of cases its normal.
These are the reason which make your uvula enlarged. (Most of the times)
1) Alcohol Abuse (You drink like a pig last night)...:)
2) Spicy food or too much salt
3) You have tried to eat something new.
4) Dehydration can also cause uvula swell.
5) Keeping the mouth open while sleeping, or breathing through the mouth (Breathing through the mouth dries up the oral cavity, again forcing the uvula to soak saliva and swell.)
6) Snoring ( Many times, snoring can too contribute to uvula swelling. When a person snores, his or her throat and tongue meet the uvula and the soft palate, which can cause this small organ to enlarge. Canker sores that commonly affect the oral cavity can sometimes, develop on the uvula. Such a condition can too cause enlarged uvula. )
What should I have to do now?
1) Gargle with salt water.
2) Avoid eating spicy food for a week.
3) Drink lots of water.
4) Avoid alcohol for some time (This is important...:)
