Tonsillectomy Surgery in Karol Bagh, Delhi
Tonsils are situated at the back of our throat and are a part of our body’s immune system. They contain a lot of white blood cells which are necessary for battling against infectious diseases and foreign objects. Due to their position in our mouth, they can prevent harmful germs from entering our body through the digestive route. Tonsillectomy refers to the surgical procedure that involves removing infected/inflamed tonsils.
To seek treatment, consult an ENT doctor near you or visit an ENT hospital near you.
What is tonsillectomy?
Tonsillectomy is a surgery that removes infected tonsils (tonsillitis). The surgery is aimed at preventing recurrent infections and inflammation in one or both of the tonsils. When a patient suffers from enlarged tonsils or other rare tonsil diseases, they need to be surgically removed.

The wait-and-see approach for your child’s recurring tonsil infections may be a bad choice. Consultation with an ENT doctor may point towards a tonsillectomy, from which the child can benefit a lot. Having tonsillectomy surgery is the best option for treating recurrent tonsil infections.
After the surgery, the patient will be discharged from the hospital on the same day. For the next 1-2 days, the patient will experience pain that declines over the next 1-2 weeks. After 2 weeks, the pain will be negligible.
Minor changes in voice are common after tonsillectomy surgery. These changes will last for 1-3 months, and your voice will slowly come back to normal.

Our Patient Speaks
My family friend advised me to go to Dr. Nayeem at Apollo Spectra. I was told that the doctor was highly qualified and knowledgeable, which was absolutely true. When I came to Apollo Spectra, I was truly blown away. The ambiance and the cleanliness were top-notch. Everybody working here were complete professionals and very friendly. A special mention to the duty doctors, the nursing staff, and the housekeeping team. They made me feel comfortable and took very good care of me. My food was served on time and it was tasty. So, I just want to extend my thanks to Dr. Nayeem and the entire staff. Keep it up.

Dr. Parashar is one of the best doctors in our country. He is a gentleman who is completely down to earth. I personally feel that Apollo Spectra hospitals are a great initiative taken by the Apollo group to facilitate the patients across various places. The Apollo Spectra Karol Bagh is an excellent facility. A well-maintained structure, spick and span, and a good ambiance overall are definitely the plus points. The duty doctors and nurses are very well qualified and extended their support whenever necessary. They were very humble and friendly, and it helped me relax. The front office team is super-efficient, and the admission process was done very quickly, without wasting any time. This hospital is running like a well-oiled machine, thanks to the wonderful staff.

I am so happy that I chose Apollo Spectra for my son’s treatment. It is definitely one of the best decisions of my life. I was recommended Dr. Noor, who is a specialist at Apollo Spectra. So, once we reached the hospital for an initial consultation, they conducted a TPA procedure. Everything went smoothly and the whole staff was exceptionally supportive and cooperative. Even the duty doctors and the nurses are highly qualified and treat you with so much care. It was truly heart-warming. The hospital was very clean and hygienic. And, even the maintenance was up to date. Keep it up, guys! Thank you.

Honestly speaking, it never felt like a hospital. The premises were always spick and span, my room was very clean and came with a T.V, the bathrooms were cleaned from time to time, and the food was very good. Apollo Spectra creates a homely environment to keep you comfortable and happy. I was under the care of Dr. Ameet Kishore, who is simply amazing. He was completely professional and helped me whenever I needed it. The front office team was very good. They explain all the details correctly and patiently. The nurses were spectacular. They were so friendly and kind. Apollo spectra is now my only source of care. I would highly recommend it to all my family and friends.

I visited the Apollo Spectra Hospital in south Delhi for my surgery. During the course of the treatment, I found the treatment and hospitality extended to me to be exceptional. The doctors as well as all the staff at the hospital, including the nursing staff, cleaning staff, front office as well as the administrative staff were all very helpful and well behaved. I would recommend the Apollo Spectra Hospital to anyone looking to have any surgeries performed, or even anyone looking for expert medical advice as the doctors at the Apollo Spectra Hospital are highly educated and well trained, and the facilities provided at the hospital are quite up to the mark.
