In this second of four podcasts focused on paediatric ear nose and throat (ENT) conditions, doctors Lisa and Sara are once again joined by paediatric ENT consultant, Dr Simone Schaefer, to discuss recurrent tonsillitis in children.
The podcast covers the definition of recurrent tonsillitis and what the ENT criteria is for a tonsillectomy in our region. They use an example case to discuss why the referral criteria is so strict, as well as some exceptions to the criteria.
