Tonsillectomy in Hyderabad
Tonsils are a pair of organs that play a major role in the immune system. They are oval-shaped and situated at the back of the mouth. They safeguard the immune system by destroying the viruses and bacteria that enter through the nose and mouth. When these tonsils get infected by viruses and bacteria, they get inflamed. This condition is called Tonsillitis.
Tonsillectomy is a surgery performed to get tonsils removed in adults and children. The main causes are viral infections and strep throat. Tonsillectomy is usually performed by ENT specialists/otolaryngologists.
