I had my endoscopy on Thursday, with throat spray and sedation. I felt fine afterwards. It wasn't until Thursday night that I could feel my throat beginning to hurt during my sleep, and on Friday morning I awoke with a very bad sore throat. I also had body aches and over the course of the day developed a fever.
Saturday I still had a fever on and off and the throat pain continued. I've been managing it with paracetamol and ibuprofen, throat lozenges, ice lollies, but it's been relentless.
The fever stopped on Sunday, but I'm still experiencing a very sore throat. It's now Monday morning. When I first woke up, I hacked up some blood which freaked me out.
I'm going to see my GP this afternoon. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
