Fire/burning pain in back of throat after needle biopsy. Normal?

[lovemydowncomforter]

I had a needle biopsy done today on a 1/2" hard nodule on my thyroid. The needle biopsy didn't hurt too much. Tonight though I am very sore, and oddly enough it is not so much at the biopsy site, but the back of my actual throat..on the side that they did the biopsy but 3 inches above the biopsy site, the back of your throat part where you can see when you open your mouth..feels like it's on fire, and my ear aches on the same side. Is this normal after a needle biopsy? I'll probably call and ask in the morning if it's not better then. It really hurts, feels like fire like when you have strep. The area where they did the needle biopsy is just a deeper pain. Both pains started after the biopsy today, with the throat pain starting tonight. My voice is also a little hoarse and I'm coughing a little. He has asked when he did the second stick if it made my ear hurt and I said it had made my jaw hurt. I wasn't given any paperwork on what to expect going home or anything. Is this pain normal or should I be concerned?

hard to say but this can be either perforation of esophagus, trachea (rare), irritation of nerve or sedative leaked into interstitial space.Cold compress can somewhat help along with sour candy.

Also having this terrible pain inside my throat along with trouble swallowing and burning 4 days after biopsy. Has anyone figured out what this is and how to get rid of it?

I had a similar experience.  Did your throat pain resolve quickly?  I am several months out from my biopsy and I still have the pain, have trouble swallowing, and have a weird feeling acidity in my throat, at the site of the biopsy.  I've searched for risks from the biopsy, but nothing like this appears to be reported.  Any ideas?

Prayfully you will have a relief from the pain very soon....discomfort for an fna biopsy normally lasts no more than a day.

I took two Aleve last night and it didn't do anything :/

I would take a pain reliever...like motrin or advil to relieve the pain if tea doesn't help soothe it.

Yeah it feels like when you have strep throat. I really don't want to go to class like this :/

I have had 3 FNA's and they do hurt, and my throat hurt afterwards, the last 2 being done on the same nodule were the worst. Depending on where the nodule is, in my case at the back, low down and pressing on my trachea, you might get the pain you are talking about.
The nerves run from front to back into the spine, so if you have had a nerve hit which is also a branched off nerve, you might be having pain there. Think of a tree. The tiny twigs join into bigger branches which lead onto larger limbs which then lead down to the trunk. That's like the nervous system.
  If it still causes you issues in 24 hours certainly see someone about it.
Mine felt like a bad strep throat but went away after that time frame. Lots of hot tea helped ease it for me.
