Lint: tonsillar-abscesses

"Compared to peritonsillar abscess, incision and drainage or needle aspiration of intratonsillar abscess is less likely to be successful if attempted ¹. Moreover, recurrence after antibiotic therapy is less common with intratonsillar than peritonsillar abscesses ^1,2. Thus, many otolaryngologists prefer medical management over procedural drainage for intratonsillar abscess ^1,2,5, while some attempt drainage in some scenarios ^6-9."
