Post surgery
It's been a week since surgery and I have this irritating pain on the back of my tongue . Best way to describe it is like you drink something hot and burn your mouth. It doesn't burn but everytime I drink some thing it's unpleasant. Could this be from the anesthesia? Also I've been told I needed to cough after surgery. I haven't done much of that due to pain and the fact that I can't catch my breath inbetween coughs. When I do cough something up it's almost a brownish color. Do I need to be worried about having pneumonia? Should I go get it looked at right away?

You require examination by ENT surgeon... To look for local causes.
