Abstract:
The treatment of peritonsillar abscesses is debated. A retrospective study was made of 19 patients diagnosed as peritonsillar abscess who were treated by incision, drainage, and intravenous antibiotics. The surgical, medical and diagnosis factors that affect the management of peritonsillar abscesses are discussed.
