One cause of a swollen uvula is an allergic reaction. This type of uvulitis is called Quincke’s edema. People with a personal or family history of hypersensitivity reactions, like eczema, urticaria, asthma, or hayfever, are more likely to develop Quincke's edema. It comes on fast and should be treated with medications like steroids and antihistamines quickly.
