The hypothesis is that celecoxib effectively reduces pain after a tonsillectomy and reduces
post-operative narcotic use.
To test this hypothesis, the study is placebo controlled (sugar pill). Half of the
participants will receive a sugar pill, half will not.
All participants will receive the standard post-operative pain medications.
We ask participants to log the amount of medications they use daily, and the amount of pain
they have each day. It is hoped that celecoxib will reduce the amount of post-operative pain
medication needed.
