My daughter is going to have surgery.?

My 23 month old daughter is getting tubes in her ears, getting her tonsils removed, her atnoids taken out, and a bump above her collar bone removed, is this going to be a very painfull situation for her? How will I be able to confort her so tha she doesn't have alot of pain?

Answers:
Both of my kids have had tubes in their ears. The tubes are easy she may be a little fussy.Give her tylenol (ask about motrin I am not sure if she will be able to have it because of the tonsil removal and the slight beeding related to that) for the discomfort and keep it in her the first 24 hours as preventative. The dr should give you ear drops to apply for 3 days and about three times a day (mine did with both kids) My daughter was 17 months and my son was 9 months and they both did fine. As far as the tonsils go she will have a sore throat stock up on jello, pudding, popsicles and ice cream. Alot of soft and or cold food and more or less comfort food. I had my tonsils out at age five I only remember a sore throat. But when it was all over I could eat alot better even from before the surgery. Hope this helps.

u can just be there for support the docs should have her on some pain meds....for discomfort......just a lil tlc! good luck ss to hear hate when babies are sick!!!
