Background: Sore throat is a discomfort, itching, quiet voice, or irritation of the throat that frequently gets worse when swallows. Up to 62 percent of patients worldwide experience postoperative sore throat after general anesthesia. Postoperative sore throats reduce patient satisfaction, and it can also increase the demand for adjuvant pain medication in the post- anesthesia care unit to minimize postoperative sore throat. Despite its status as most of the time self-limited, it has the potential to cause severe postoperative morbidity and patient unhappiness. Result: A total of 16,446,533 articles were searched, where PMC 5, 578, 784 PUBMED 10,860,943, Cochrane systematic review 6806. Among those, 16, 446,490 articles were excluded due to non-human studies, out of date studies, and articles were not in line with our study like sore throat cases other than post-anesthesia. Articles which were in line with our objective were filtered with Meta-analysis, guidelines, systematic review & RCT. Finally, 43 articles were reviewed.
