a Severe Sore Throat

Intubation is a fairly straightforward process; the doctor places an endotracheal tube into the mouth of the patient and slides it down the throat while he is unconscious. Although a simple procedure, intubation generally results in a sore throat after surgery since the back of the throat and windpipe are extremely sensitive areas. Although soreness of throat usually alleviates on its own, drinking ice cold water and sucking on lozenges can resolve this problem within a day or two.
