Had surgery 9 days ago...throat still bothering me
Hi all!
I am slowly recovering from my laperscopic cyst removal. It has been 9 days and I know they had to put a breathing tube in for the surgery but my throat still feels like something is stuck in it (towards the top) It goes away when I eat or drink hot/cold food. My normal drinking or room temp water does not relieve this annoyance. Any idea's....should I call my doctor? I see her on Thursday. Thanks Tanja

Hi Tanja,
I would say that if you don't have a fever that it is OK to wait until your appointment. If it gets more uncomfortable or harder to swallow then I would call tomorrow.
I hope that otherwise you are recovering nicely.
Take care!

Thank so much. Do you think I can call on Monday or that I need to call the dr on call today? I have had no fever. My tonsils look a little swollen but I thought that was because I am fighting off a tiny cold. (little bit of a stuffy nose and just feeling poorly, I'm feeling a little better today as far as the cold goes) My throat doesn't really hurt it just feels like something is stuck in there. Like am constantly getting a throat culture done except it isn't moving. I did look and I didn't see anything lol but I'm thinking that I got scratched or something.
Thanks,
Tanja

Hi There..
Sorry you are having trouble after surgery. As a nurse in the recovery room, it says right on our discharge instructions, that a sore throat after surgery is common, however within 2-3 days that should be gone. You should call the doc and let them know. Are your tonsils swollen? Do you have a temp? Sandy's advice is excellent. Definitley gargle with warm salt water and maybe try some throat lozenges.....But do call the doc.
Good luck
