Quick Relief from Throat Swelling, Pain & Difficulty Swallowing
If you’re facing intense throat pain on one side, difficulty opening your mouth, swollen tonsils, or a muffled voice — you might have a Peritonsillar Abscess (PTA), a serious condition that needs urgent ENT intervention.
At A1 Superspeciality Hospital, Dahisar, we offer safe and immediate drainage of peritonsillar abscesses, helping you recover faster and avoid further complications.
What is a Peritonsillar Abscess?
A peritonsillar abscess is a collection of pus that forms near the tonsils, usually as a complication of untreated tonsillitis.
It causes severe pain, swelling, fever, and sometimes even difficulty in breathing or swallowing.
If not drained promptly, the infection can spread to the neck, chest, or bloodstream — making early treatment critical.
Symptoms of Peritonsillar Abscess Include:
- Severe one-sided throat pain
- Swollen tonsil with uvula pushed to one side
- Painful swallowing (odynophagia)
- Trismus (inability to open mouth)
- Ear pain on the affected side
- Fever and chills
- Muffled or “hot potato” voice
- Foul breath
