Collection: Quinsy (Peritonsillar Abscess)

What is Quinsy (Peritonsillar Abscess)?

Quinsy, also known as a Peritonsillar Abscess, is a painful collection of pus that forms near the tonsils, often as a complication of untreated or severe tonsillitis. It occurs when the infection spreads to the tissues surrounding the tonsils, leading to swelling, severe throat pain, and difficulty swallowing or speaking.

This condition is most common in teenagers and young adults and requires immediate attention to prevent the infection from spreading to the neck or chest.

Symptoms of Quinsy

1. Severe sore throat (usually on one side)
2. Swelling inside the mouth or near the tonsils
3. Difficulty swallowing or speaking
4. Fever and chills
5. Ear pain on the affected side
6. Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
7. Bad breath and drooling (in severe cases)
