Comparative status of oxidative damage and antioxidant enzymes in chronic tonsillitis patients

Comparative study of two modalities i.e. antioxidant therapy (by vitamin E) and tonsillectomy was done in chronic tonsillitis patients, the study included 80 cases. It was found that both modalities were affective than tonsillectomy. Thus the use of antioxidant may be a promising alternative for the tonsillectomy.
