Hello,

A sore throat and the associated symptoms are sorts of anaesthetic procedure. During the procedure, ET tube is insertion the throat and thus causing throat pain.

Generally, it will settle by itself without any definite treatment. You can do warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
