I was so surprised how well my then 21 month old DS coped. I gave him panadol around the clock for the first few days but after that he was pretty much back to normal. The hardest thing was trying to keep him from running around and resting. I hope you LO goes just as well.
Our DD1 just had hers out, she was 6, and I was surprised at how much pain she was in for the first week. We gave painstop and painstop night around the clock for a week and then downgraded to panadol. I hated giving her so much medicine but it was really needed. If we missed a dose by an hour, she would be screaming in pain and miserable. The Dr said some recover very quickly, and others take much longer, DD1 was one that look a long time. By 10 days post op she was much happier and by 14 days post op she was back to normal.
