Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States, with over half a million performed annually in children younger than 15 years of age. Postoperative pain is one of the most common clinical problems and may lead to poor intake, dehydration, and weight loss. Management of postoperative pain is often challenging and results in additional medical costs due to unplanned emergency room visits. Opioids such as codeine are commonly prescribed for pain control, however in 2013 the Food \& Drug Administration issued a black box warning for the use of codeine in post-tonsillectomy pediatric patients. The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery recommends the use of acetaminophen and ibuprofen to successfully manage postoperative pain. With an extended recovery period, often longer than 7 days, alternative measures to reduce postoperative pain are needed. Honey has been proven to possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This intervention will evaluate the effect of Tylenol, ibuprofen with honey on children's postoperative pain and nausea following tonsillectomy surgery.
