A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lozenge's &warm Liq: You should have little or no pain following your procedure. If you have an upper endoscopy, you may have a slight sore throat that can be relieved with warm liquids, throat lozenges or, if necessary, Tylenol. Sore throat may last for 1-2 days. When patients complain of sore throat following upper endoscopy, it is usually related to the pressure of the endo- scope on the walls of the pharynx.
