Post-Op Sore Throat? Try a Licorice Gargle Beforehand

A new study from India, appearing in the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia, reports that gargling with a solution made from licorice before surgery can help people who awaken from anesthesia with a sore throat.

Researchers at the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow, India, put 40 spinal surgery patients into two groups. About 25 percent of patients who used the licorice gargle had a sore throat, compared to 75 percent of those who gargled with water. Postoperative sore throat was also less severe in the licorice group.

They also found that the licorice group had fewer incidences of post-op coughs.
