Throat swollen 17 days post op?

[rolosmom7 740]

I searched this on here, and saw it was normal to have a swollen throat in the first few days. I'm 17 days out, and just woke up from a nap with my throat feeling like it's closing in and it hurts.

I ate half a scrambled egg for the dirst time today about 8 hours ago. Any ideas?

Hi rolosmom7,

Can you clarify...has your throat been like this for the entire 17 days? Or was it just for the first few days, and then happened again today?

If its new, I'm wondering if maybe you are just getting sick with like strep or something similar?

It is has been constant the whole time, I think you should definitely give your doctors office a call.

Best of luck, and keep us posted. I hope you feel better really soon.

No, it seemed normal enough after surgery - some trouble initially woth getting fluids in but finally got there. Can't hit Protein goals yet. A few days ago I got some tuna salad puree stuck, and it went away about 2 hours later.

Today is different - all I've managed to eat today is half a scrambled egg with cheese. The choking sensation woke me up from a nap. I've been sucking on crushed ice and have also done hot tea. Almost 2 hours of this feeling.

My husband and I went through my entire book, and since I can still breathe he sees no reason to call or do anything until they're open tomorrow.

I know everyone is different, but isn't 300 calories a day at 17 days out odd? Or is it just me being too nervous.

Thank you for your help!

@rolosmom Try broth and call Dr in morning. Do you have a temp? Maybe it was the eggs - many people can't tolerate them.

No temp. I called a very unhelpful surgeon on call. I'll give my actual surgeon's office a call in the morning.

Wonder why the egg intolerance? Does it include cooked eggs, like in the ricotta bake?

Thanks

I think it depends on how egg is cooked - scrambled seem to be tough for a few.
