A member asked:
Increased throat pain 2 mo after residual tonsil tissue grew back. ent says he can remove tissue but i'm curious if any nonsurgical tx might work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Grew back from?: I guess the only nonsurgical tx might address a cause such as infection. Wonder what the effect of an antibiotic and steroid would have on the tissue?
