Cool liquids: The discomfort is from inflammation and irritation as a result from the tube resting against the tissue in the voice box. Sucking on ice chips and other cool fluids will help give relief and decrease some of the swelling. If you have any problems with reflux/GERD, you could also consider protecting against this. Good luck with the recovery!
