@gracenad. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Having an inflamed and swollen uvula must be very uncomfortable. You said that you saw your rheumatologist, but that she wouldn't help. Have you seen your family physician? They are the ones to treat something like this. I included the link to information from the Cleveland Clinic. It talks about the causes and remedies or home treatments for uvulitis.

While we wait, some other member may join the discussion and tell you of their experiences.
Do you think you could call your primary care physician tomorrow? Please let me know!
