the type of pain you describe certainly is common after endoscopy and i'm sorry you're experiencing it. generally speaking throat lozenges or any kind of hard candy (sugar-free if you have diabetes) can soothe the irritation of the throat after endoscopy. you also may use an over-the-counter pain reliever such as acetaminophen (tylenol) ibuprofen (motrin advil) or naproxyn (aleve). keep in mind ibuprofen and naproxyn are blood thinners that can promote bleeding so you may want to avoid those for a few days after your endoscopy. also if you take acetaminophen be sure to follow the label instructions. taking too much acetaminophen can damage your liver. do not exceed the maximum daily dose. hope this helps!
what medication can be used for minor throat and chest pain following endoscopy?
