Abstract
Intratonsillar abscess is an infection occurring in both children and adults.It is a rare complication associated with tonsillitis which is a common pharyngeal infection.In modern science, treatment includes incision and drainage along with antibiotics and analgesicswhich cause unnecessary side effects and in chronic stage there is little or no relief and hence surgery is advised as the only alternative.Moreover, there is recurrence even after surgical intervention.In Ayurveda, Intratonsillar abscess can be correlated with Gala Vidradhi which has indication of Bhedana Karma as treatment. In the present case study, a 26 year old female patient came with complaints of swelling in the left tonsillar region for the last 6 months following an episode of acute tonsillitis. She was treated with local application of Apamarga Kshara andGandusha with Darvyadi Kwatha along with oral medications. There was significant improvement in patient complaints and marked reduction in swelling with no recurrence of abscess formation.
