Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
At what point should tonsils be removed?
Tonsillectomy is generally considered for recurrent tonsillitis (multiple significant episodes per year), or when enlarged tonsils are obstructing breathing or sleep. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis during consultation.
Is a sore throat always an infection?
Not always — chronic sore throat can also stem from acid reflux, allergies, or vocal strain. An ENT examination helps identify the actual cause rather than treating every sore throat the same way.
What is the recovery like after a tonsillectomy?
Recovery typically takes one to two weeks, with throat discomfort managed by medication; your surgeon will provide specific aftercare guidance.
Can enlarged adenoids affect breathing during sleep?
Yes, enlarged adenoids are a common cause of snoring and disrupted sleep in children, and are evaluated as part of throat and airway assessment.
How is chronic hoarseness diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves an endoscopic examination of the vocal cords to identify the specific cause, which guides whether treatment involves therapy, medication or a procedure.
