Brief Answer:
tonsillectomy

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX

Greetings from healthcare magic. I am Dr Thakker and shall answer your question.

I would recommend you to undergo a tonsillectomy. This is the standard of care for recurrent episodes of tonsillitis and poly formation. Sometimes these episodes may be complicated by a tonsillar abscess formation called as quinsy. It then has to be surgically drained. We do not wish to wait till this complication to occur.

I hope this helps you. If you have any more questions please feel free to get back to me.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for getting back to me. Removing the entire tonsil is better because it will take care of the polyp and also prevent future attacks of tonsillitis. Quinsy does not look like a polyp. It presents with high grade fever, odynophagia and hot potato voice. On examination one can see the abscess formation. Polyp will not have these features.

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.

Polyps are not caused by sore throats. Polyps are caused by hypertrophy of the epithelium and the stroma. Sore throat is just a symptom. It is a manifestation of a source of irritation in the throat. Sore throat is usually caused by viral, bacterial infections, irritant gases and fumes, smoke, wood dust etc.

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.

Dear XXXX

I have been very clear in my description about polyp and its cause. Sore throats do not cause polyps. They are completely different entities all together.
