To document children's (ages 6-15 years) descriptions of their pain management at home following tonsillectomy.
Audio-taped interviews of 80 children were transcribed and coded. Data for each response category were tabulated.
Children reported they had more pain after surgery than expected, the pain medicine helped to take their pain away, taking the pain medicine was associated with a negative response by some children, and cold liquids/food by mouth provided pain relief.
Findings provide insight into children's perspective of pain management at home following tonsillectomy and methods for relieving their pain.

对80名儿童的录音访谈进行转录和编码。将每个回答类别的数据制成表格。
儿童报告称术后疼痛比预期更严重，止痛药有助于缓解疼痛，服用止痛药会引起一些儿童的负面反应，经口摄入冷饮/食物可缓解疼痛。
研究结果为了解儿童对扁桃体切除术后在家中疼痛管理的看法以及缓解其疼痛的方法提供了见解。
