Highly possible.
Not necessarily
Nausea can be common after tonsillectomy. The anesthesiologist will administer medications during surgery to help prevent nausea. In addition, the surgeon will prescribe an antiemetic to take postoperatively. It is important to prevent vomiting after a tonsillectomy to prevent bleeding.
The anesthesiologist can give preventive medications for nausia/vomitting
Generally, not most of the nausea came from use of gaseous anesthetics or narcotics doses. Generally, we predose the person with anti-nausea medicine and we would use IV anesthetic agents for the procedure, which should not cause much if any nausea.
Nausea and vomiting is a common side effect of anesthesia. Occurs more in abdominal procedures. It's more common in young woman, but could happen in kids.
