Brief Summary:
Soreness and cracking at the corners of the mouth, a condition called angular cheilitis, can be an uncomfortable problem for children after they have surgery to remove their tonsils and adenoids. This study looks at whether applying a moisturizing cream containing dexpanthenol to the corners of the mouth right before the surgery can help prevent this from happening.
The main idea (hypothesis)i the investigators are testing is that this dexpanthenol cream will protect the skin and reduce the number of children who get these painful lip sores after their operation.
To find this out, children who are scheduled to have tonsil and/or adenoid surgery will be invited to join the study. Children (participants) will be randomly placed into one of two groups by chance. One group of children will have the dexpanthenol cream applied to their lip corners just before their surgery. The other group will not have any cream applied to their lip corners before surgery. After the surgery, investigators will check all children to see if they have developed lip corner sores and compare how many children in each group experienced this problem.
The goal of this research is to see if this simple cream application can be an easy way to help children feel more comfortable while they are recovering from their surgery.
