A member asked:

I had an gastroendoscopy 3 days ago. developed sore throat and flu symptoms 8h after, how long after endoscopy can you develop esophagus perforation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Almost immediately: An esophageal perf. with endoscopy is a serious and almost immediate condition. Severe pain , tachycardia, fever - this is a bad event. A bit of sore throat is not uncommon after EGD, but if you have real concerns you should put a call in to your GI team now. Good luck
