Hi,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but these symptoms are normal after tube removal due to the injury of the mucosa. Please avoid spicy, very hot or cold drinks and try to stick to soft easily swallowed foods to fasten the recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
