Randomized control type. ENT Department Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi, from Feb 2006 to Feb 2007. After getting informed consent a total of 60 patients who fulfilled the probability sampling. Group A received 0.25 mg/kg body weight [maximum 20 mg] of dexamethasone intravenously 10 minutes before start of operation while group B [control group] did not receive any steroid. Pain control had significant difference in both groups with better control rates in group A. Similarly, emesis control was significantly better in group A. There was no significant difference in secondary haemorrhage in the two groups.
