Response - NO
Brief Summary   Postoperative sore throat (POST) is one of the most common, undesirable and neglected complaint in patients following endotracheal intubation during general anaesthesia. We hypothesize that dextromethorphan in routine anti-tussive doses, would be effective to prevent POST thus improving patient recovery and satisfaction scores.
