About this study
This trial is testing if a plan using dexmedetomidine, ketorolac and acetaminophen is as good or better than a plan using morphine, ketorolac and acetaminophen for children having tonsil surgery. The goal is to see if this opioid-sparing approach helps with pain after surgery and how quickly kids recover.
