Now a sore throat???
I had my surgery on Sept 7th, so not too long before you. I woke up 3 days ago with the worst sore throat as well, and the glands in my neck were swollen as heck. They put me on antibiotics thinking it might be strep throat (they didn't swab my throat). I went to the allergist and he said it could also be thyroid going wacky due to surgery. I know that not all antibotics will work for strep throat, so you might want to call your doc about it. Licorice tea is working really well for soothing my throat!
My heart goes out to you...I know how frustrating it can be to have that "one more thing". I've been dealing with post op complications and it seems like I'm picking up everything under the sun. Just think though...once we are done with all this, we'll feel better than ever!!

Kimmers -- I never gave the thyroid a though. Mine is bad too -- I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I also have to abnormal parathyroids. I didn't think those things would cause a sore throat. I go to dr. tomorrow and will check with him about my throat.
It could very well be allergies, though they don't usually cause a sore throat on me. It has happened though. I've been starting to blow my nose more today, so maybe I have a bit of a bug. Wonder where I caught it from? My kids are healthy for a change and besides church and church choir practice, I don't go out much.
Now, if I could just get some sleep..............................!

My throat bothered me for a long time after the surgery. At one time it was even too painful to talk. I though it was strep but it wasn't. It was from the tube they put down your throat when you have general anesthesia. Took so long to go away. But I do remember the lump in my throat. That drove me nuts. Finally it went away. But this is just me. Everyone is different.

Go to the doctor, you might have strep. if you hadn't had surgery you would surely be going to the doctor for such a bad sore throat. Kitty
