  • The study aimed to determine whether limiting the ibuprofen dosage after a tonsillectomy affects the occurrence of post-operative bleeding in pediatric patients.
  • Conducted at a pediatric hospital, it compared bleeding rates before and after implementing a maximum ibuprofen dose of 400 mg per dose, analyzing data from 199 patients.
  • Results showed a significant decrease in bleeding rates post-intervention, suggesting that a lower ibuprofen dosage may reduce the risk of complications after tonsillectomy, indicating a need for further research.
