My daughter is suffering from chronic tonsillitis for a long time now. We did allopathic and homeopathic treatments but she only got temporary relief. Now she has developed cavities in the tonsils in which food particles got stuck. We want to get the tonsils removed by surgery. Since she is in UK and will have to travel to India for this purpose, I want to know how long it will take her to recover and go back to UK? How many days prior to the surgery she is required to be here in Delhi. Thanking you.

Now a days new modalities are available for tonsillectomy like coblation with minimal pain, bleeding and hospital stay.Patient can be discharged on the same day after surgery and can travel back after 1 week of follow up but prior to surgery for anaesthesia fitness few investigation are needed that is to be done 1-2 days prior to surgery.
