简要总结
Prospective study will be conducted for 9 months. We will assess patients presenting with acute tonsillitis, including history taking and physical examination to determine symptom severity, duration, and any complications. Enrollment period will be 6 months. We will monitor each patients’ progress for minimum 3 months, noting improvements or worsening of symptoms, response to treatment and any development of complications. Patients will be scheduled for follow up visits to assess their response to treatment, monitor for any complications and determine if discontinuation criteria have been met. Patients will be followed up every week in first month then fortnightly in second third month. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis can be performed to evaluate the overall performance of the criteria across different cutoff points.
