How Long Does General Anesthetic Effects Take To Wear Off?
My 3yr old daughter had tonsils adenoids and grommets removed one week ago under general anaesthetic. She is waking several times a night crying and seems to be in pain as she tosses from side to side for 3 or 4 minutes and then drops off back to sleep. Is this an effect of the anaesthetic still in her system? or is ther some other reason

In my opinion its not due to anaesthesia effect.
Most probably she is feeling pain post operatively.
If you can provide me weight of your baby, I can tell you analgesic to be taken to take care of your baby,once do check up with your doctor.
