Most children are ready to
go home a few hours after their operation.
The
length of recovery time is dependent on the child and the type
of
operation
they have had.
Before
you go home, your nurse will give you some written and verbal
information to help your parents/carers continue your care
at home.
You may not need to see a doctor
before you go home,
your nurse will give
you all the information you need.
Children
may need to take a paracetamol product such as calpol or disprol
for pain relief following surgery. Parents/carers should have
a supply ready at home.
