Abstract
Tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy continues to
be one of the most common surgical procedures performed
world wide. Evaluation of the role of antibiotics in reduction
of post-tonsillectomy morbidity were discussed in this study,
A l00 patients aged 12-20 years, both genders all suffering
of recurrent attacks of tonsillitis (more than five times per
year).All patients were subjected to tonsillectomy. Fifty of
the patients were given postoperative antibiotic and
paracetamol for ten days after surgery. The other Fifty
patients were given only paracetamol tablets.
We concluded that there was no significant difference
between the two groups in halitosis, bleeding and fever.
A statistically significant difference in reduction of pain
sensation and time to return to normal diet was found
between the two groups.
