Response - NO
Brief Summary   Postoperative sore throat (POST) is the second most common complication after general anesthesia which causes discomfort to the patient. Currently, there is no effective treatment which reduces the occurence and severity of post-sore throat after general anaesthesia. The current study is planned to assess the effect and safety of zinc and magnesium in reducing the occurence and severity of POST

After taking the informed consent, 2 hour prior to general anaesthesia participants  will be asked to take 5 ml of water in which the study drug is dissolved as per group allocation. (Zn/Mg/or plain water). The rest of the procedure will be as per standard care of the operation. After operation, participant will be evaluated for post operative sore throat and adverse drug events at 0, 2, 4 and 24 hours.
