What Is Uvulitis?
2. Causes of Uvulitis
Environmental and lifestyle factors, infection, trauma, and genetics are the most common causes of uvulitis. Environmental causes include exposure to allergens such as dust, pollen, and certain foods.
Dehydration can also lead to uvulitis due to insufficient lubrication of the uvula, especially in alcoholics. Some chemicals, such as tobacco, and some medications can also irritate the uvula and cause uvulitis.
