Summary

This study looks at whether adding a medicine called Ketorolac to the usual pain treatment helps children drink more fluids after cleft palate surgery. About 74 children with cleft palate (with or without cleft lip) will take part. The goal is to see if better pain control leads to improved oral intake after the operation.
