throat yes fever no: Your sore throat is probably due to intubation and will go away. Chloraseptic spray, lozenges, or Motrin or tylenol (acetaminophen) will help. A fever, if over 100.5 Fahrenheit, or symptoms such as urinary pain, worsening, abdominal pain or breathing difficulties are not normal and should be evaluated.

Yes: this can be normal after a GA; should resolve after a week
