How will the Test Feel?
Local anesthesia is used to numb the throat, so there may be a feeling of fluid running down the back of the throat or the need to cough or gag as the anesthetic takes effect. There may be sensations of pressure or mild tugging.
When the anesthetic wears off, your throat may feel scratchy for several days. After the test, the cough reflex will return in 1 to 2 hours, then you may eat and drink normally.
