Patient Overview
Chronic Tonsillitis Surgery
Patient Name: Sharmin Sultana
Age: 28
Problem: Recurrent tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing
Background:
Sharmin Sultana, a 28-year-old woman, had suffered from recurrent episodes of tonsillitis for the past five years, leading to difficulty swallowing and persistent throat pain. Despite multiple courses of antibiotics, her condition did not improve, and she was diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis.
Challenges:
The patient’s tonsils were enlarged, which caused her chronic discomfort and difficulty swallowing. Surgery was necessary to prevent further episodes of infection.
Treatment Plan:
Dr. Mohammad Hanif recommended a tonsillectomy to remove the affected tonsils and provide permanent relief from the recurrent infections.
Outcome:
The tonsillectomy was successfully performed, and Sharmin experienced significant relief. She reported no further episodes of throat pain or difficulty swallowing post-surgery. Her recovery was swift, with complete healing in about two weeks.
