Help! Is it normal for your uvula to be big after getting your tonsils removed?

Hi,I did the following:
Help! Is it normal for your uvula to be big after getting your tonsils removed?I got my tonsils out six days ago. And my uvula is still big is that normal? I also was wondering I cant eat anything solid because it's hard to get down? Is this normal ? Should I be eating by now? And how many days till I can eat solid food again? Any information would be really appreciated.

I'll keep this short - it's getting late.

Elongated uvula after tonsillectomy? NORMAL.

A number of things can cause your uvula to enlarge: dehydration, snoring, alcohol, having your tonsils out ;-)

Some say ice cream helps - it's cold and soothes.

Keep your room humidified. And give it some time. Mine just got back to normal - took a full week.

Hope you feel better.
