My son had this done at 5 and honestly, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Before he left the hospital he had a couple of popsicles and a jello. On the way home he asked for mashed potatoes. He slept for a little while that afternoon, but he was back to normal within a couple of days. They will give you pain meds for the first couple of days. They told me to give as prescribed for the 1st 48 hours, then only as he needed it. Lot's of fluids and soft foods and tons of TLC from Mommy and he will be great!
Good luck!
