The smell is usually from the anesthetic and any anti biotics. It's a bit gag worthy but doesn't too long.
Some children awake from the anesthetic as though they are having a tantrum. Don't be too concerned by this - it is a very common reaction to the medication and is experienced by all ages. If you are allowed in recovery, just do your best to reassure them.
Children are encouraged to eat and drink very soon after this surgery. Usually after around an hour.
This procedure is usually done as a day procedure. If the surgery is scheduled for the afternoon, then they are kept in over night.
