Swollen uvula

I’ve been feeling under the weather since start of August. Sore throat, swollen glands, I look a bit puffy round the face, fatigued. Sort of ill but not enough to skip work.

This week it feels worse, it’s been a challenge to swallow, especially claggy stuff like bread. We had free! Friday morning bacon rolls at work and I just couldn’t swallow it down. The back of my throat feels really constricted. I took some photos as I wondered if perhaps my tonsils had weirdly decided to grow back after 27 years. Couldn’t see much but my uvula is hanging down to my tongue. Will gargle salt water at home but how long would you leave it before booking in to see a Gp?

if you've had it since the end of August I'd be making a GP appointment next week
