The Effects of Pain Controlling Agents on Paediatric Tonsillectomy: A Systematic Review and Network Meta‐Analysis

While ibuprofen appeared to be the most effective in managing postoperative pain, paracetamol showed favourable trends in reducing postoperative bleeding, PONV, and the need for additional analgesics. Ketorolac tended to be associated with a lower incidence of PONV but showed a tendency toward a higher incidence of postoperative bleeding. However, further well-designed, standardised studies would be needed to confirm these conclusions.
