Child Had Tonsils Removed. Complaining Of Sore Legs, Struggling To Walk Due To Anasthesia. Matter Of Concern?
Hi, my son is six years old and had his tonsils and adnoids out just over 2 weeks ago. He has had a pretty rough recovery. He has now been complaining of sore legs, and wakes up in the morning struggling to walk. Should I be concerned. This was the first time that he has had anesthetic and appeared to have a bit of reaction afterwards as was being sick and very sleepy for days. Is this anything to worry about?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
after 2 weeks of operation the symptoms usually not due anaesthesia
we should exclude polio as the symptoms developed after tonsillectomy
better consult a pediatrician and follow his advice
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
