A peritonsillar abscess (also called quinsy) is a collection of pus behind the tonsils. It usually develops as a complication of untreated or severe tonsillitis. Patients often complain of severe throat pain, fever, difficulty swallowing, and swelling on one side of the throat.
Conventional treatment involves antibiotics and sometimes surgical drainage. However, many patients look for homeopathy treatment for peritonsillar abscess because it offers safe, gentle, and long-lasting results without the side effects of strong medications.
