Brief Summary  
The study drug (dexamethasone 0.1mg/kg or dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg) will be delivered using a nebulization mask for 15 mins at oxygen source at 8L/min 10 min prior to induction. Post
nebulization vitals will be recorded .GA will be induced with standard Anaesthesia protocol. Injection xylocard 1.5 mg/kg will be given 90 seconds prior to intubation. Intra-operative hemodynamic
monitoring will be done at 0 (post intubation),2,4 ,6,8,10 mins after intubation, thereafter every 5 mins intra operative period. Smooth extubation followed by monitoring every 15 mins in the PACU.

Assessment for the incidence and severity of sore throat, hoarseness of voice and cough will be carried out using a 4-point scale (0-3) at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 hrs post extubation. IV Diclofenac 75 mg
will be given as rescue analgesic for severe sore throat. Sedation will be monitored according to Ramsay Sedation score.

Any side effects such as dry mouth, post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), sedation, respiratory depression and hemodynamic instability will be monitored and be treated accordingly.
