Usually there is NOT a lot of pain with tube surgery; often the pain is relieved by removing the fluid. If there is pain, Tylenol or Motrin should be adequate. No Motrin should be used if tonsillectomy was also performed, however.
How well you do after surgery depends on the reason for the surgery and your condition. After surgery, there may be a tube in your nose which will help keep your stomach empty. It is removed as soon as your bowels are working well. Most people have pain from the surgery.
