Abstract
The efficacy of ‘Difflam’ Oral Rinse and soluble aspirin in the post-operative management of tonsillectomy in adult patients has been compared. Whilst aspirin proved slightly more effective in relieving pain and discomfort of swallowing, ‘Difflam’ Oral Rinse was superior in the relief of earache, in promoting the healing of the tonsil bed and in the duration of necessity of treatment. It is therefore suggested that the two preparations might be taken concomitantly to provide quick, as well as long-lasting, pain relief.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
