Title: Postoperative Ibuprofen and the Risk of Bleeding After Tonsillectomy With or Without Adenoidectomy
Brief Summary: Tonsillectomy (the surgical removal of the tonsils) is a commonly performed surgery in children. One risk of tonsillectomy is postoperative bleeding, and this can be more dangerous in children because their blood volume is lower than adults. Ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID), is an effective pain medication. Recent guidelines, published by the American Academy of Otolaryngology, advocated use of ibuprofen after tonsillectomy. However, NSAIDs are associated with altered platelet function and a theoretical increased risk of bleeding after surgery. The investigators would like to explore the effect that ibuprofen has on postoperative bleeding, as well as validate previous studies demonstrating it is an effective pain medication after tonsillectomy.


Options:
A: Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID)-Calculated From the Pain Intensity Scores Recorded on a 100mm Long Scale With Anchors for "no Pain" (0 mm) and "Worst Pain Imaginable" (100 mm). (48 hours after the first dose)
B: Time-Weighted Sum of Pain Relief Rating and Pain Intensity Difference Scores From 0 to 8 Hours (SPRID 0-8) (From 0 hour up to 8 hours post-dose)
C: Number of Participants With Level 3 Postoperative Hemorrhage (Data about post-tonsillectomy bleeding will be obtained after the end of a 14-day postoperative period.)
D: Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 1:00 pm during the operative day]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 6:00 pm during the operative day]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 11:00 pm during the operative day]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 8:00 am during the 2th day after surgery]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 1:00 pm during the 2th day after surgery]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 6:00 pm during the 2th day after surgery]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 11:00 pm during the 2th day after surgery]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 8:00 am during the 3th day after surgery]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 1:00 pm during the 3th day after surgery]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 6:00 pm during the 3th day after surgery]); Pain measurement assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) (All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at 11:00 pm during the 3th day after surgery])
