“What are some common side effects kids can get from anesthesia?”
My daughter needs to have an appendectomy next week, and is going to be under general anesthesia. I discussed the details with her surgeon and anesthesiologist--risks and complications, and all that--but we didn't discuss any side effects from the anesthesia itself after her surgery. Are side effects possible? What are the most common ones?

Side effects from anesthesia normally occurs during Surgery for children/adolescents. She may be very sleepy after the procedure.
