In this episode of EENT101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, covers Peritonsillar Abscess, the most common deep neck infection, typically arising as a complication of tonsillitis. You’ll learn to recognize hallmark signs such as severe unilateral sore throat, “hot potato” voice, trismus, and uvular deviation, understand the role of imaging in uncertain cases, and review urgent management—including drainage, antibiotics, and airway monitoring.
