pain swallowing

by halliejean2001, Nov 02, 2009 11:33AM
Ever since I had carotid artery surgery four weeks ago, I have pain (similar to ice cream headaches)
when I swallow. It seems to originate near my right jaw and ear and radiates from there.
Could I have been injured with the incubator tube during surgery, or could it have been caused
by the surgery itself?
Thanks.

It is very possible u had a problem due to intubation

It is also to get a infection from being intubated called thrush...not sure if u would feel like u mention...but u should contact ur dr and explain how u feel.

Good luck
