Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Sore Throat, Headache, Productive Cough And Wheezing After An Endoscopy?
I had an endoscopy on Wednesday. The next day I noticed I had a sore throat. Friday afternoon I got a headache that gets better with medication but comes back after the medication wears off. I have a lot of mucus and go into coughing fits. I also have wheezing when I lay down. I have some chest pain which feels worse if I take deep breaths that also brings on the coughing. My question is do you think this is related to,the endoscopy. The reason for endoscopy is a large hiatal hernia that has pushed my stomach into my diaphragm.

Hello, It may be due to throat infection. For that you may require antibiotics after physician consultation. Continue Saline or Betadine gargles twice a day. You can take tablet acetaminophen for fever. Keep your self hydrated Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shyam Kale Family and general physician
