High-dose celecoxib, sometimes sold under the brand name Celebrex, is effective at controlling pain and reducing narcotic use after tonsillectomy in children, according to a new study by researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). The findings, published in the journal Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, suggest high-dose celecoxib with acetaminophen can be considered an effective alternative to ibuprofen with acetaminophen after tonsillectomy.
