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
Sanuth is an 11-year-old boy who lives in Phnom Penh. He lives with his mother, who sells breakfast food near a local factory, and his father, who is a tuk-tuk driver. He has two siblings, a nine-year-old sister, and a two-year-old sister. He is in grade six and likes to study mathematics and Khmer history. At home, his favorite meal is fried chicken. When he grows up, he would like to be a police officer.
Medical history
Sanuth had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy under general anesthesia. Tonsils were grade 4 with mild hypertrophy of the adenoids. The plan is for Santa to take analgesics for one week, antibiotics for one week, and only eat soft food and room temperature water for 2 weeks. Doctors will follow up in one month.
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.
