Hi,
If you were given general anesthesia, they might have put an endotracheal tube, that is a tube to maintain the airway.
This may cause cough, soreness in the throat and even little blood. If this was the case then you shod not worry it would settle in a few days. You may take some painkillers like paracetamol and antacid gaviscon for few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
