CONCLUSION
postoperative sore throat
The three medications examined in this study did not show significant differences in their effectiveness. However, lidocaine gel demonstrated a significant reduction in postoperative sore throat. Therefore, lidocaine gel can be considered an effective drug to attenuate the incidence of postoperative sore throat. To further improve future studies in this area, it is suggested to increase the sample size to enhance the statistical power and reliability of the findings. Additionally, incorporating longer-duration operations into the study is recommended.
