Brief Summary   Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common adverse event after general anesthesia especially with endotracheal intubation. Reported incidence of POST following general anesthesia is variable and ranges between 20-74%[1]. Aetiology is multifactorial which includes patient-related factors such as age, sex, smoking; and intubation factors including technique, duration, number of attempts, tube size, intracuffpressure, cuff design, intraoperative tube movement, airway manipulations, and suctioning[2]. Mucosal damage by mechanical injury due to airway manipulation and dehydration of the orophyrangeal mucosa are considered to result in post-operative sore throat . Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common adverse event after general anesthesia especially with endotracheal intubation.

Mucosal damage by mechanical injury due to airway manipulation and dehydration of the orophyrangeal mucosa are considered to result in post-operative sore throat.
 Pharmacological measures for attenuating POST include use of topical, intravenous or inhalational agents.Various pharmacological agents such as  ketamine, benzydamine hydrochloride, lignocaine, magnesium and corticosteroids are used to prevent POST. Locally used agents reduce airway inflammation by active anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties when used preemptively and have minimal systemic side effects.
In recent years nebulization with different drugs for POST have been used preoperatively and studies have shown a reduction in the incidence and severity of POST. Due to sparing of bitter taste nebulization are better accepted and tolerated by the patients. Requirement of small volume of drugs for effect, easy way of administration, better patient compliance, and very less risk of adverse events makes nebulization therapy preferred choice over other methods such as gargle, intravenous etc
