Painful swallowing
Hi I had wisdom teeth surgery two weeks ago and was intubated. Today I have pain when swallowing and burning up my throat. Is this as a result of the intubation. Should I be concerned that it is still painful to swallow?

It is unlikely that post intubation pain will occur after a week. It may be reflux laryngopharyngitis secondary to medication use after surgery. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few days for long term benefits
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
