Hi, I didn't have any infection but my throat hurt so bad after I woke up and even days after. It was from the tube they put down my throat during surgery. It Really hurt!! Drink something warm. That helped me. Hope you feel better!!

Yeah mine too! It felt like something was stuck in my throat, due to all the swelling from the tube, warm salt Water will help!

Gargle Warm Salt Water... but spit it out, don't swallow it! It will ease it. Did a Dr. tell you it was infected or just due to the soreness you think it is? My CRNA told me I would be sore. The pain meds should help this too...

Me too. They even chipped my tooth. 2 yrs ago i had another surgery that they busted my top and bottom lip and scratched down my throat. This time other than the chipped tooth they damaged something in the back of my throat and my burps wouldn't pass my throat.. It took a month to heal
