Calpol and anaesthetic

[sykes]

My younger dd has fallen over and has to be stitched tomorrow morning. As she fell on her mouth (teeth went through lips) she will be stitched in and around lips so they want to use an anaesthetic. Does anyone know if it will be okay to give Calpol/Neurofen - she can't eat/drink anything from 3am tomorrow - stitching is at 8am.

No idea what the answer is, but just wanted to say OUCH. Must've been quite scary for you too.....
{{{Hugs to you both.{}}}}

Thanks, so Podmog, does that no Calpol after 3 am/am I being stupid?
Thanks M2T - actually wasn't there, my poor nanny was. I think she's more upset than dd. Dying to go home to give her a cuddle - my daughter, I mean ....

Thanks, Podmog. I've asked my h to call the hospital.

sykes, if I understand your question correctly don't give her calpol or ANYTHING after 3 am. The GA clinics round here are incredibly strict about this . They even tell you not to chew gum prior to a GA and ALWAYS refuse to proceed with the GA if food or drink in any quantity have been taken.
Good luck. Mouth wounds heal beautifully.

the nanny could probably use a cuddle too

Thanks to everyone. In the end they decided not to stitch so no anaesthetic - most damage in her mouth and main risk is infection so she's on antibiotics. Glad no stitching. She doesn't seem bothered at all, even if she does look like Bart Simpson. Must take a photo ....
Nanny also fine now .... she even bought my dd a present and I keep telling her IT'sNOT YOUR FAULT.
