I suspect they'll : Reschedule to avoid risk of bleeding. It's good that you caught that & can point it out as an omission. Vitamin e preparations, as well.

No: Motrin as directed should be fine. Aspirin has been linked to reye's syndrome in children, so it is not recommended. You should confirm with your dr. Who did the surgery, so there is continuity of care and they can put any medication your child is on in his records. Good luck.

Bleeding: As dr fricke points out, the risk is increased possibility of poor blood clotting which can lead to increased bleeding following the surgery.Can occur with asa and ibuprofen. Check with your surgeon.Reyes syndrome not really at issue here.

Motrin equals ASA: The Motrin interferes with platelet function much like aspirin. You should have stopped the Motrin a few days ago-(10)- and advise the ENT about the Motrin use.
