What Causes Pain In Head And Neck After Adenoid Removal?

Hi my 4 yr old son had 3rd set of grommets and adenoids removed 2 days ago and he is now complaining of a sore head at the back near the neck. He has been fine since the surgery and has recovered well except for the new complaints of back headache. Is this normal? Should I be worried? Thanks

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worry,but not too much. There are several postoperative problems that may arise. These include swallowing problems, vomiting, fever, throat pain. The most common causes of headache:
- dehydration and increasing uric acid in the blood;
- anaemia;
- hypotonia.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
