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 determined based on the child's age, and on the other hand, based on the dosage of the medication. Generally, the child can wake up after surgery, but after waking up, they may feel sleepy. It usually takes 6 to 8 hours to fully wake up. Additionally, it is important to take care of the child after surgery, maintain a balanced nutritional diet for the child, develop good living habits, and pay attention to regularly monitoring the child's body temperature.
