Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had laproscoptic surgery on Mon. for gall bladder removal. In recovery room, my tongue became swollen & I felt like I couldn't swallow. They gave me benadril & a steroid & it helped. Should I be concerned about future surgeries & try to find out what caused this.
The surgery itself would not cause these symptoms, but given the fact that Benadryl and steroids helped it may have been an allergic reaction to a medication.
