Needs doctor to see: This could be a very dangerous reaction to an antibiotic -swelling of the throat- that needs to be seen and evaluated by a doctor NOW. Not sure if you had a 'tube down your throat' for the scalp surgery? If so, then it could just be mechanical irritation from the tube, and much less worrisome. Since you need to keep breathing -I would get this evaluated ASAP. Call the doctor who did the surgery.
