Aim: The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate whether or not nebulized magnesium sulphate reduces the incidence of postoperative sore throat in patients who have had surgery. Methods: Patients were either male or female, between the ages of 20 and 65, and either ASA 1 or ASA 2 statuses. They were undergoing elective surgery that lasted approximately 2 hours or longer while they were under general anaesthesia and required tracheal intubation. There were a total of 200 patients who participated in the study. Patients in the trial group were given a nebulization treatment consisting of 3 millilitres of isotonic nebulized magnesium sulphate containing 225 mg while they were waiting in the holding area. It was observed that the patient had a painful throat when at rest and during swallowing immediately after extubation, as well as at 2, 4, 10, and 24 hours following the operation. In the postoperative ward, patients were checked for any adverse drug reactions as part of the monitoring process. Results: There was no discernible variation in POST between the two groups with regard to demographic factors such as age, gender, or ASA status. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups' POST measurements taken at rest at 0h and 2h. There was a really important. Using the chi square test, we can see that there is a significant difference in the POST at rest between group A and group B at 4 hours (p=0.06), 10 hours (p=0.001), and 24 hours (p=0.001). According to the results of the chi square test, there was a statistically significant difference in POST on swallowing at 2 hours (p=0.008), 4 hours (0.001), 10 hours (0.001), and 24 hours (0.001). Conclusion: Patients who have had general anaesthesia with a tracheal tube for routine surgical procedures for up to 24 hours often experience POST. The use of magnesium sulphate in the form of nebulization as a pre-medication agent was found to be safe, simple, and effective in preventing the occurrence of postoperative sore throat. This leads us to the conclusion that the use of magnesium sulphate in this manner significantly reduces the incidence
