Anjali Sharma, a 28-year-old primary school...
Anjali Sharma, a 28-year-old primary school teacher, had suffered from chronic tonsillitis since childhood. For years, she endured 5-6 severe infections annually, each requiring antibiotics and forcing her to take sick leave, leaving her feeling guilty about letting her students down. The constant sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue were wearing her down. Her ENT, Dr. Mehta, explained that her tonsils were permanently scarred and acting as reservoirs for infection. He recommended Coblation tonsillectomy, emphasizing its precision and potential for less post-operative pain compared to traditional methods. Anjali was terrified of surgery but desperate for relief. The procedure itself was quick under general anesthesia. The recovery was challenging for the first week, with significant throat pain managed by medication, but it was notably less severe than the 'horror stories' she'd heard from friends who had traditional surgery. By week three, she could eat normally. Six months later, Anjali hasn't had a single throat infection. She has more energy, hasn't missed a day of work, and feels a profound sense of freedom. Her emotional journey shifted from chronic anxiety about the next infection to joyful stability and gratitude for getting her life back.
