Sore throat is a common postoperative complaint. This remedy is primarily indicated when there is an injury that results from a blunt instrument, causing a hematoma. Case: a 68-year-old woman, under general anaesthesia using the laryngeal mask airway, underwent a minor 30-minute operation. Immediately after the operation, she complained of throat pain and hoarseness. Both the surgeon and the anaesthetist reassured her that this was a minor complication that would disappear in the next 48 hours. Over the next 2 days, the symptoms became worse. She could barely speak and could not eat solid food. She could only drink water and warm milk in very small amounts. Her voice could be barely heard. She had the impression that there was a “lump” in her throat, preventing her to speak or drink. On the basis of the assumption that the patient’s symptoms were caused by injury and hematoma to the laryngeal area by the insertion of the laryngeal mask, Arnica montana was prescribed. After 6 hours the patient’s condition was much better. She started talking more easily and could eat yoghurt and soup. A second dose of the remedy resulted in the progressive improvement of her clinical condition. She was able to eat semisolid food, with plenty of liquids (water, milk, and juices). She could even eat small mouthfuls of bread. The voice was much better, still hoarse, but louder and painful. She needed only one more dose of Arnica montana, 24 hours after the initial dose, as most of the symptoms disappeared, except for some hoarseness that lasted about 7 more days.
