What Causes Soreness On Tongue After A Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal?
Hello, I had a laparoscopic gallbladder removal on 11/6/2014. Since the day after the surgery my tongue has been sore . Similar to a sensation you may have when you burn your tongue. Also, foods taste differently. Is this a common side effect of the anesthesia? Should I be concerned? What can I do to heal/soothe the tongue?
