Abstract

In the present case study, a 26 year old female patient came with complaints of swelling in the left tonsillar region for the last 6 months following an episode of acute tonsillitis. She was treated with local application of Apamarga Kshara andGandusha with Darvyadi Kwatha along with oral medications.
