Patient's question:
My child is three years old this year and had a hernia surgery. During the surgery, they were given anesthesia, but the child has not woken up yet. I want to know how many hours it will take for them to recover. How long does anesthesia take to wear off in children with inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
After using an anesthetic, on the one hand, it is judged according to the child's age, and on the other hand, according to the dosage of the drug. Generally speaking, the child can wake up after the surgery, but after waking up, the child will feel sleepy. It usually takes 6 to 8 hours to fully wake up. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the postoperative care of the child, maintain a balanced nutrition for the child, develop good living habits, and pay attention to regularly monitoring the child's body temperature.
