A member asked:

Can crohn's disease and a peritonsillar abscess be related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Nick Debnath answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Not necessarily: While crohn's disease can have oral mucosal manifestations (apthous ulcers, for instance), peritonsillar abscesses are not necessarily more common in a patient with crohn's disease.
