<s>[INST] I have had I have had an operation where my uvula has been split in two to reduce snoring. The effect has been that I feel discomfort with the uvula tissues on each side of my mouth. Is it advisable to look at reducing the split uvula or removing it entirely?  YYYY@YYYY [/INST] Hello,As per your query, you have discomfort in the uvula after a surgery which seems to be due to more of bacterial infection and due to conditions such as dry mouth which is giving you discomfort.You can take Amoxicillin drug thrice a day. Do warm saline gargles 3 times a day. Chew one Vitamin C pellet daily. If there is a pain in the throat, then you can take Tylenol drug. Avoid spicy and cold foods.Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. I would suggest you go ahead with preventive methods first rather than going for complete removal. Drink plenty of water to avoid acid reflux and dry mouth.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Harry Maheshwari </s>
