Some common allergens include: food irritants , such as dust, animal dander, or pollen medication exposure to chemicals or other toxic substances, including tobacco Infection You can get viral infections or bacterial infections. Examples of viral infections include: the common cold the flu mononucleosis chickenpox measles croup The most common bacterial infection is strep throat, which occurs due to Streptococcus pyogenes, which is a type of group A Streptococcus. If you have infected tonsils, or tonsillitis, severe inflammation can cause them to push against and irritate your uvula.

This is a procedure to remove your tonsils, which are located on both sides of your uvula. Your throat and uvula can also become irritated if you have acid reflux disease or if you vomit frequently.

Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Itโ€™s an uncommon genetic mutation that occurs in 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 people.

Itโ€™s likely youโ€™ll also need a throat swab to evaluate for strep or to obtain secretions for culture to determine if you have another bacterial or fungal infection. This test is known as the rapid strep test. You may also need a nasal swab to test for influenza. Blood testing can help identify or rule out some other infectious agents. If those tests are inconclusive, you may need to see an allergist. Blood and skin tests can help identify foods or other substances that cause a reaction.

Treatment When you have something like the common cold, swelling usually clears up on its own without treatment. Otherwise, treatment will depend on how severe your symptoms are, as well as whatโ€™s causing the inflammation. Infection Viral infections tend to clear up without treatment. The only upper respiratory infection for which an antiviral medication is available is influenza. Antibiotics can treat bacterial infections. Even after symptoms clear up, take all the medication as prescribed. If your condition may be contagious, stay home until your doctor tells you that youโ€™re no longer at risk of spreading it to others. Allergy If you test positive for an allergy, try to avoid the allergen in the future. Doctors usually treat allergies with antihistamines or steroids. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction. Doctors use epinephrine to treat this reaction. Hereditary angioedema Your doctor may treat HAE with any of the following: anabolic steroids, or androgens antifibrinolytics C1 inhibitors, such as C1 esterase inhibitor (Berinert) or C1 esterase inhibitor (recombinant) (Ruconest) a plasma kallikrein inhibitor, such as ecallantide (Kalbitor) bradykinin receptor antagonist, such as icatibant injection (Firazyr) Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening symptoms, and follow up as necessary. Tips for relief home treatment If you have a swollen uvula or sore throat, itโ€™s your bodyโ€™s way of telling you that something is wrong. A few home remedies can help keep you strong and soothe your irritated throat. Make sure youโ€™re getting enough fluids. If your throat hurts when you drink, try drinking small amounts throughout the day. Your urine should be light in color. If itโ€™s dark yellow or brown, youโ€™re not drinking enough and may be dehydrated. Additional tips include the following: Cool your throat by sucking on ice chips. Frozen juice bars or ice cream may also do the trick. Gargle with warm salt water to ease your dry, scratchy throat. Aim for a full nightโ€™s sleep, and nap during the day if you can. Whatโ€™s the outlook? Outlook A swollen uvula isnโ€™t a common occurrence. Most of the time it clears up without treatment. If you have an infection, prompt treatment should take care of the problem within a week or two. If you have allergies that lead to swelling of the uvula or throat, do your best to avoid that allergen. You should also be prepared to deal with an attack if you come into contact with the substance again. If youโ€™ve ever had anaphylaxis, ask your doctor if you should carry injectable epinephrine (EpiPen) in case of emergency. People with HAE must learn to recognize triggers and early warning signs of an attack. Talk to your doctor about how to manage HAE.

Dimples creation Surgery/ Dimpleplasty is a type of plastic surgery used to create dimples on the cheeks. Dimples are the indentations that occur when some people smile. Theyโ€™re most often located on the bottoms of the cheeks. Not everyone is born with this facial trait. In some people, dimples are naturally occurring due to defect in smiling muscle. Dimples are perceived as a sign of beauty.

How dimples are formed ?
Dimples are formed because of the defect in the smiling muscle called as Zygomaticus Major. A very small part of this muscle is attached to skin. So whenever a person smiles the skin lying over this defect gets wedged into it, in the connective tissue, creating dimples in the cheeks which is perceived as a beautiful features on one's face.

Procedure of Dimple Creation
1.Before the surgery the doctors mark the position of the dimple based on patients on where the patient wants the dimple. The doctor also guides the patient regarding the position of dimples.
2.This surgery is performed under local anaesthesia .
3.Doctors perform this surgery from inside the mouth (inside of cheek) in order ensure there are no scars on the face.A small cut of 3-4mm is made inside the cheek area.
4.After making this incision, depending on where you want the dimple, a suture is passed through. This connects your skin to the underlying muscle, creating the dimple. You can see the dimple immediately.

Static and Dynamic Dimple
This type of dimple is called as static dimple.These dimples do not change in position or depth with animation. They remain like a sore thumb even when the person has no expression. As an absorbable stitch is used used during surgery, gradually the skin will, however, flatten out when the stitch is absorbed. The internal scarring โ€”which takes place โ€” will connect the muscle to the skin, creating a dimple which becomes prominent when one smiles and the static dimple will convert into dynamic dimples after two months .

Dimple creation surgery is a daycare procedure. It only takes 30 minutes, and you can go home soon after surgery. You are fit to resume your daily activities from the next day itself.

Hirschsprung's (HIRSH-sproongz) disease is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes problems with passing stool. The condition is present at birth (congenital) as a result of missing nerve cells in the muscles of the baby's colon. A newborn who has Hirschsprung's disease usually can't have a bowel movement in the days after birth. In mild cases, the condition might not be detected until later in childhood. Uncommonly, Hirschsprung's disease is first diagnosed in adults.

In as many as 80% of cases, doctors donโ€™t find the exact reason for a curved spine. Scoliosis without a known cause is what doctors call โ€œidiopathic.โ€ Some kinds of scoliosis do have clear causes. Doctors divide those curves into two types -- structural and nonstructural. In nonstructural scoliosis, the spine works normally, but looks curved. Why does this happen? There are a number of reasons, such as one legโ€™s being longer than the other, muscle spasms, and inflammations like appendicitis. When these problems are treated, this type of scoliosis often goes away.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (also known as TURP, plural TURPs and as a transurethral prostatic resection TUPR) is a urological operation. It is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). As the name indicates, it is performed by visualising the prostate through the urethra and removing tissue by electrocautery or sharp dissection. This is considered the most effective treatment for BPH. This procedure is done with spinal or general anesthetic. A large triple lumen catheter is inserted through the urethra to irrigate and drain the bladder after the surgical procedure is complete. Outcome is considered excellent for 80-90% of BPH patients. Because of bleeding risks associated with the surgery, TURP is not considered safe for many patients with cardiac problems. As with all invasive procedures, the patient should first discuss medications they are taking with their doctor, most especially blood thinners or anticoagulants, such as warfarin (Coumadin), or aspirin. These may need to be discontinued prior to surgery. Postop complications include bleeding (most common), clotting and hyponatremia (due to bladder irrigation).

Additionally, transurethral resection of the prostate is associated with low but important morbidity and mortality.
