Dr. Calvin Weisberger answered

Endotracheal intubat: Endotracheal intubation can be associated with throat pain if any degree of trauma accompanies the intubation or the extubation. Generally this will settle down over a day or two. If it doesn't resolve in a day or two or if fever or a cough occurs, see your doctor for evaluaation.
