ThroatTonsilThe tonsils (palatine tonsils) are a pair of soft tissue masses located at the rear of the throat. They are normally present in children below 7- 8 years of age and are responsible for immunity and fighting infections in young children. They slowly regress in size as the child grows. In some individuals they may be enlarged even in adulthood.The common conditions are :-Acute tonsillitis: A bacteria or virus infects the tonsils, causing swelling and a sore throat. The tonsil may develop a gray or white coating (exudate).Chronic tonsillitis: Persistent infection of the tonsils, sometimes as a result of repeated episodes of acute tonsillitis.Peritonsillar abscess: An infection creates a pocket of pus next to the tonsil, pushing it toward the opposite side. Peritonsillar abscesses must be drained urgently.Tonsilloliths (tonsil stones): Tonsil stones, or Tonsilloliths, are formed when trapped debris hardens, or calcifies.TreatmentMedical and SurgicalSurgical – Latest Technology in Surgical option is Coblation, more recent than Laser procedure.COBLATION technology combines radiofrequency energy and saline to create a plasma field. The plasma field remains at a relatively low temperature as it precisely ablates the targeted tonsil tissue. The COBLATION plasma field removes target tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding areas. This helps in faster and relatively painfree recovery.Contact your Specialist to have a diagnosis of your condition and specific treatment

Nasal septum is thin wall (nasal septum) between the two nasal passages. In many people, the nasal septum is off-center — or deviated — making one nasal passage smaller is called Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS)TreatmentAll the DNS cases do not warrant treatment. Only when it is responsible for nasal obstruction/blockage on a daily basis.The treatment for this condition is called as Septoplasty (Surgery). It is a day care procedure done under general anaesthesia. The patient is able to resume his/her duties from the very next day of the procedure.Please Contact us for further details.
