Sore throat after lap

[ChloeL934]

Hi all,

Has anyone else suffered with sore throat after surgery, was told it’s common because of the tube just wondered if anyone had it and how long it lasted x

[Lou93]

Hi yes I had a sore throat after only lasted few days then went x

[ChloeL934 in reply to Lou93]

Thank you x

[SJrose]

Yes it's just the tube. Your throat should be feeling much better in about 3 days. Drink plenty chilled water or juice that'll really help.

I had my op 4 weeks ago and my throat was rough afterwards too xx

Hey, I bought like soothers to help my sore throat. It’s just from the tube but it lasted about a few days for me xx

[ChloeL934 in reply to princessk09]

Thank you, yeah I’ve been using them too x

[princessk09 in reply to ChloeL934]

No worries, it’s a horrible feeling like it was making me feel sick as my uvula was inflamed and catching the back of my throat 😫 x

[ChloeL934 in reply to princessk09]

Yeah that’s how mine is, I can actually feel if sitting on the back of my tongue x

Hey, yeah- I found the throat pain more uncomfortable than the incision site... It may be because when I woke up after mine I was screaming and shouting and lashing out (sounds funny now...) - A few days and it will be fine xx

Hey, I went down at 3.15 & woke up at 5.30. So was a while, but I can actually feel my tonsil on the back of my throat it’s a weird feeling x

[Nettkins in reply to ChloeL934]

That is a long time. Good Luck and hope you have a speedy recovery. xx

Yes I have with all of mine, the longer the op the worse my throat was.

It lasts about 2-3 days.

Hope your op we went well and you recover smoothly xxx
