Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial is being completed to compare two commonly used options to treat pain after discharge from surgery. Participants that undergo tonsil removal, gallbladder removal, and knee scope will be eligible to enroll. Eligible participants will be randomized to prescription of 1 of 2 groups of medications (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) plus acetaminophen or low dose opioids with the NSAIDs plus acetaminophen. The key question the study seeks to answer is which option will have the best outcomes and with the fewest side effects?

Acetaminophen/NSAID regimen

Group Type OTHER

NSAID

Intervention Type DRUG

Once randomized to this group the surgical team will elect to prescribe 1 of the following treatment options for post-discharge pain:

* Ibuprofen 10 milligrams(mg)/kilogram (kg) (maximum 600mg) by mouth every 6 hours around the clock for 2 days, then as needed for pain thereafter (40 doses)
