You’re going to worry, no matter what anyone says, I’ve been there done that. But, it’s a relatively minor procedure. Follow the aftercare instructions the doctors and nurses give you. Keep up with Panadol and nurofen regularly. Make sure they are eating and drinking regularly afterwards. They won’t let them home unless they are eating and drinking. Any sign of bleeding go straight back to hospital. Two weeks off school afterwards, because of the risk of bleeding. .I'm not sure if it’s usually done as a day procedure. My son was in overnight due to previous issues With general anaesthetic.
