Brief Summary  
Postoperative sore throat [POST] is a common post operative complication that occurs in14.4% to 73.9% in patient who undergo general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Causes of postoperative sore throat are known to be associated with inflammation and stimulation by endotracheal intubation.
The pharmacological methods that have been found to be effective in decreasing the incidence and severity of post operative sore throat include preoperative gargling with ketamine and magnesium solution, intravenous injection of dexamethasone, gargling and tube soaking with dexamethasone.
Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha-2 receptor agonist, is also administered for short term sedation in pediatric procedures and in icu, cardiac surgeries to decrease sympathetic tone, bariatric surgeries as it causes less respiratory depression.
Though the effect of dexamethasone nebulization and gargle on post operative sore throat has been studied, the literature on the role of dexmedetomidine gargle is sparse.
We are hypothesizing that preoperative gargle with dexmedetomidine will reduce the incidence and severity of post operative sore throat more effectively than gargle with dexamethasone. Hence this study is designed to compare the effectiveness of preoperative gargle of dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine in reducing the severity of post operative sore throat in patients undergoing endotracheal intubation.
