Throat hurts bad after surgery was sore before .my guess is the oxygen tube they put in it.what can i do to help this? can hardly talk .

Dehydration: There is post surgical swelling most likely from the breathing tube that was used to keep you alive during surgery combined with dehydration and dryness of the tissue. Time will help. Fluids may help. Being patient will help.
