Pak J Med Health Sci Jan ;6(3):727-9.

Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedure performed all around the world. Post operative morbidity is an important issue. We analysed 400 patients who were divided into two groups 1&2 each consisting of 200 patients. Group 1 were given perioperative antibiotics while group 2 were managed with analgesics alone and post operative complications like reactionary haemorrhage, secondary haemorrhage, pyrexia, odynophagia, delayed oral intake and wound infection were observed and compared between the two groups.
