FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of tonsil operation in Dehradun?

Tonsillectomy at MS Galaxy Hospital, Dehradun is available at a transparent, affordable price. Call 9760316002 for an estimate. Most health insurance covers tonsillectomy.

How many throat infections justify removing tonsils?

The standard guideline is 7 or more episodes in one year, 5 per year for two consecutive years, or 3 per year for three consecutive years. However, if infections are severe, causing abscess, or significantly affecting school or work, earlier surgery may be considered.

What is FESS surgery?

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive procedure where a tiny telescope is passed through the nostrils to open blocked sinus drainage pathways and remove polyps. No external cuts, minimal swelling, back to normal in 1–2 weeks.

Can sinusitis be cured without surgery?

Mild to moderate sinusitis often responds to nasal sprays, steam inhalation and antibiotics. When sinusitis is chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks) or associated with nasal polyps, FESS surgery provides the best long-term cure.
