Adenoidectomy is usually performed under anesthesia, and the procedure is usually painless due to the anesthesia. Post-operative pain can occur and is usually within the tolerable range, and medication can be used for pain relief in cases of severe pain.
If the adenoid hypertrophy is more serious (e.g., causing nasal congestion, hearing loss, snoring, etc.), adenoidectomy may be performed if there are indications for surgery.
During the operation, patients usually do not feel pain due to anesthesia, but after the operation, pain may appear when the anesthesia wears off, usually more serious in the first three days after the operation, and gradually relieved afterwards. For severe pain, ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium and other medications can be used as prescribed by the doctor to relieve pain, or intravenous painkillers can also be administered.
To summarize, pain may occur after adenoidectomy, but generally within the tolerance range, it is recommended not to be too anxious.
Postoperative observation, care and treatment are recommended.
