bmom Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 My son just got his tonsils and adnoids removed. I was wondering about the tylenol with codeine. I am nervous to give him this, but he can not have ibuprofen or anything else. Has anyone's child had this done and did they do ok on the tylenol with codeine? Is there anything else he can do as he is in major pain or should I do tylenol without codeine? Any ideas or experiences welcome!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Mom Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 My son had this done last November...we stuck with regular tylenol and lots of liquids and popsicles. Keeping the throat moist really helps with the pain...so. keep on him constantly to drink...and thyen drink some more. this was a constant battle at my house, but it worked.

colleenrn Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 My daughter and son both have had their tonsils and adenoids removed and were in severe pain for the first 2-3 days. I alternated between tylenol with codeine and ibuprofen. I do not think that tylenol without codeine would have been enough to manage their pain. Another thing that seemed to help was to put ice on the outside of their throat. The hospital sent me home with the ice "collar" we used in the recovery room, but if you do not have one you could just put crushed ice in a large ziplock bag and put a thin towel/hankerchief between the ice and the neck. Lots of cool liquids, popsicles help, plus not eating anything at all that is irritating to the throat. Good luck! Colleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
