Diagnostic tests for a throat infection typically include a physical examination and a review of symptoms, as well as one or more of the following tests:
Your doctor may order one or more of these tests to help determine the cause of your throat infection and develop an appropriate treatment plan. It’s important to follow your doctor’s recommendations and get all the recommended tests done to ensure an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
Here are some common procedures to treat the root cause of severe throat infections:
Tonsillectomy: The surgeon will make an incision in the back of your throat to access your tonsils. In some cases, a special instrument called a coblator might be used to remove the tonsils using a technique called coblation tonsillectomy.
Adenotonsillectomy: The patient will be given either general anesthesia or local anesthesia for the procedure. The surgeon will make an incision in the back of the throat and carefully remove the tonsils and adenoids.
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP): An incision will be made in the soft palate at the back of the mouth and the tonsils may also be removed if necessary.
Uvulectomy: The surgeon will make a small incision in the throat to access the uvula. The uvula will be removed using scissors, a scalpel, or a laser. The amount of uvula removed will depend on the reason for the procedure.
