May need follow up..: While sore throat and burping are not uncommon follow ing the endoscopy,I would not expect these types of things to last for an entire month afterward.As you know, they sedate you and put a tube down your throat,then pump air into the intestines to open them for a better camera view--that air can cause a bloated feeling and belching afterward.Sore throat is also very typical. Maybe not this long.
