Summary
This study tests whether propofol or lidocaine, given right after surgery, can reduce agitation when children wake up from tonsillectomy. Eighty-two children aged 4 to 7 will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two drugs. The goal is to find a safer, more comfortable recovery for young patients.
