A member asked:

Ways to heal a sore throat from a breathing tube?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soothing measures: To sooth the irritation from a breathing tube, try a mild cough suppressant to decrease the hacking cough that often accompanies the irritation. The more you cough, the more you irritate the windpipe.
