Summary

This study tests whether a numbing injection near the cheekbone can control pain after tonsil removal in children, reducing the need for strong opioid painkillers. Sixty children aged 3 to 9 having tonsil surgery for sleep apnea will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or a placebo. The goal is to see if the block safely provides effective pain relief during recovery.
