Is Anesthesia Safe In A 3 Year Old?
My daughter is now 3 years old. She has something in her ear that looks like puffed rice or cork sheet. We have tried a lot but she is so much scared of any kinds of ear cleaning material. A doctor said anesthesia is needed to take it out. But we are really scared of any kinds of anesthesia or other procedures like this. I want to know that is anesthesia or sedation good for kids?
