Question :

Doc, my relative once come to Gading Pluit Hospital. His tonsils were swollen and got treated  by “spraying something inside the mouth, and then the doctor inserted some kind of iron, and the tonsils were fine”. But I don’t know which technique that was used, and I also forgot the doctor’s name. The question I want to ask, what’s the name of the procedure and is it commonly used at GADING PLUIT Hospital, especially you can help me with the technique to treat my tonsils?

Answer :

Dear Mr. Glein Sitto
The technique is called Radiofrequency (RF Tonsil). All ENT Specialists are capable to perform the treatment. GADING PLUIT Hospital uses Cauter Tonsil. I can help you with that procedure at Mitra Kemayoran Hospital (phone 654 5555)
Hope this information helps.
