🔍 Comparative Table: Uvula Symptoms in Homeopathy
1. Kali bichromicum- Oedematous, relaxed, bladder-like swelling; deep, punched-out ulcer with yellow, tenacious matter, Associated with tough, stringy mucus, and burning sensation in throat and chest
2. Apis mellifica- Uvula hangs down like a bag of water; puffy, translucent, oedematous mucous membranes, Stinging, burning pain, worse from heat; better from cold applications
3. Rhus toxicodendron- Uvula elongated, puffed, translucent, often nearly spherical like a drop of jelly, Threatens edema of glottis, with vesicles on pharynx and intolerable rawness
