it depends on the pathogen that is causing the uvula issue. for instance if it was caused by strep then the answer is "yes" however someone who is exposed will not necessarily get an infected uvula or even sick at all. our immune system protects most healthy people.
is an infected uvula contagious? . last night i kept having to get up to get a drink because my mouth was dry and my throat hurt. when i got up this morning and looked at it with a flashlight my uvula was swollen about 4 times it normal size. i went to the doctor. she gave me a steroid shot a prescription for metho dose pack and antibiotics. i have not had fever at all. it just hurts really bad. am i contagious to anyone if i don't drink after them or they me or kiss someone?
