Study Summary
The investigators will use a prospective randomized, controlled design utilizing a single preoperative dose of oral dexamethasone or placebo to achieve these specific aims: * Specific Aim 1: To evaluate the potential for a single preoperative dose of oral dexamethasone administered the night before surgery to reduce the incidence and severity of early post tonsillectomy pain (PTP) in children * Specific Aim 2: To prospectively evaluate differences in early PTP experience between overweight/obese children and their lean peers. * Specific Aim 3: To determine whether circulating inflammatory markers are strongly linked to PTP severity in children and whether they could be potential contributors to the higher pain experienced by overweight/obese children following Tonsillectomy and or Adenoidectomy.
