How does your tongue look? Do a Google search on Thrush. Does it look like that? How are your taste buds? I know you are probably on liquids, but have you noticed anything different?

I had a back surgery last month, was intubated and ended up with thrush. Throat and mouth were KILLING ME. Did a week of an anti-fungal prescription and was all good.

I had thyroid surgery a few years ago and they did the same thing to me. It hurt way worse than the surgical site. I couldn't even talk for days. I had to ask for pain medicine with hand signals. I think it lasted about a week, getting better every day. I know how much that hurts. Ask the doctor if there is some lidocaine spray or something they can spray in there to deaden the pain.

I was sleeved Tuesday and just came home today and my throat is sore too. I'm sure it is from the tube and dry mouth/throat.

Yes mine started hurting about 2 days after surgery. It went away about day 4.

The throat pain was intense for me those first few days too, especially while my mouth was also dry. It felt like sandpaper. The thing that helped the most and gave me a lot of relief was the sugar-free popsicles the hospital provided. Can't recommend it enough. Hope it feels better soon!

I had no throat pain at all just runny stools few days which worried me. Only 9 days out I feel normal apart from not needing loads of food to satisfy.

My throat hurt for about 6 days. Real sore fore the first 3 and then just a little bothersome.

My throat didn't hurt at all, but they warned it would, because of the breathing tube. From what I understand the pain is related to how sensitive you are and how easy/hard the tube went in.
