My uvula is swollen. Do I need to take a covid-19 test?

If you have a swollen uvula but no fever or cough, you do not necessarily need to get a COVID-19 test. However, if the swelling persists for more than 5 days, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor. In the meantime, you can try taking Tylenol™ or Advil™ to help reduce the swelling and discomfort while lying down.
