Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

About infections
Adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy refers to the enlargement or swelling of both the adenoids and tonsils. The adenoids are a collection of lymphoid tissue located at the back of the nasal passage, while the tonsils are clusters of lymphoid tissue in the throat. When both the adenoids and tonsils become enlarged, it can result in various health issues, such as difficulty breathing, snoring, sleep apnea, recurrent infections, and other related symptoms.

Background
Nusrat, a five-year-old girl, resides in Dhaka with her parents. She finds joy in playing with toys and other children, aspiring to become a nurse when she grows up. However, her past seven months have been fraught with pain and swelling in the submandibular region on both sides, along with difficulties in breathing, sleep apnea, and mouth breathing. Nasrin, her mother, is deeply troubled as Nusrat's condition hampers her ability to eat properly. Despite numerous visits to a government hospital, they were either denied treatment or asked for funds they couldn't afford. The family struggles to cover basic expenses such as rent and food, let alone the daily medications Nusrat requires. Turning to Dhaka Community Hospital, they discovered Helpster Charity. Nasrin, desperate for assistance, implores Helpster Charity to cover the surgery and alleviate her daughter's suffering.
Medical history
Nusrat Akter was diagnosed as chronic tonsillitis. She spent 4 days in this hospital. Tonsillectomy has been done and after that antibiotics, fluids and other medication are given. Now Nusrat is back to her home with a lot of happiness and joy. Her mother said that she was unable to bear the treatment cost of the surgery. She can't explain her happiness to see her daughter to be normal from these sufferings with the support of Helpster Charity.
Prognosis
Enlarged tonsils can trap bacteria and viruses, leading to recurrent throat and ear infections. These infections can cause discomfort, pain, and may require repeated courses of antibiotics. An adenotonsillectomy is a medical procedure in which both the adenoids and tonsils are surgically removed. The adenoids are small glands located at the back of the throat, while the tonsils are situated on either side of the throat.
