Absolutely! Pain after surgery may persist for months after but eventually will subside. Most common is a period lasting 2 to 3 weeks. If a child less than a week
Yes.
Yes. I typically prescribe pain medication for 5 days after surgery. The pain may be present for the first two weeks after surgery and may take up to 4-6 weeks to resolve completely.
