I'm a bit worried because I had an upper GI endoscopy about four days ago, and the doctor mentioned that any pain should go away in a day. But I'm still feeling pain on the right side of my throat, especially when I swallow or even just gulp air. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it pretty typical?

It's generally normal to experience some mild throat pain or irritation after an upper GI endoscopy, especially within the first few days. However, if the pain persists longer than expected or worsens, it's important to contact your doctor to rule out any complications and get proper guidance.

I'm experiencing some swelling on my uvula and it really hurts at the back of my throat. It kind of feels like there's something stuck in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Swelling on the uvula with pain and feeling like something is stuck in your mouth could be due to inflammation or infection. This condition is known as uvulitis. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and using throat lozenges to soothe the pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing benzocaine for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.
