Some medications prescribed after thyroidectomy have side effects that include swelling of the tongue, throat, eyes, lips, and face. This should be reported to your doctor as soon as possible.

Does strep throat give you a swollen throat?

For about a week, I've had Strep throat but hadnt been to the doctor. Eventually, the pain got to me and he prescribed me some antibiotics (Amoxicillin Trihydrate). I took my one pill that afternoon, and one after dinner. I took a third one this morning around 6 AM and went back to sleep. I woke up feeling something in the back of my throat i just couldn't swallow. Turns out its my uvula. Since i don't know my regular tongue size (never knew i would need to), im not sure if its my throat slightly swelling again, my tongue swelling (i think that might be it), or my uvula swollen (can that even happen?) Any sollutions?
