It'll go away, they intubate when you are put under, so that pain in your throat is more than likely from that. It will go away, it just takes a little time depending on how damaged your esophagus is, I had a sore throat for 3 days and a sore on my lip from where the tube was rubbing for almost 2 weeks.
