My daughter will be having surgery may 26 @7:45 am, she's getting ear tube and adenoids removed, i gave her ibuprofen will there be problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: you should not give ibuprofen prior to surgeries. ibuprofen causing platelet dysfunction, and potentiates bleeding. I usually recommend that people do not take NSAIDs, aspirin, and hold for 5 days prior to the surgery. If you have pain you can take Tylenol (acetaminophen) as needed.
