HNO Nachrichten Aims and scope

Akute entzündliche Halsschmerzen gehören zu den häufigsten Beratungsanlässen beim Haus- oder HNO-Arzt.

Diese Übersicht zeigt den aktuellen Stand, welche Untersuchungen und Medikamente bei einer Tonsillitis sinnvoll sind und wann eventuell sogar an eine Operation gedacht werden kann.
