Post nasal drip
This is the back of the nose, seen from a view through the mouth and up behind the soft palate, using a high definition flexible digital endoscope. The greyish, swollen uneven structure towards the top is the very back of the inferior turbinate. It is causing post nasal drop, bad taste and the need to snort / clear the back of the nose. If it doesn't respond to salt water douches and steroid sprays, a posterior laser turbinoplasty operation will shrink it down.
What it looks like straight after laser tonsillectomy under local anaesthetic spray
This is the right side tonsil bed after laser tonsillectomy under local anaesthetic spray. The majority of the tonsil has been vapourised away. The thin ring of white is the extent of thermal damage caused as heat is transmitted through tissue being vapourised. Usually around half a millimetre. No bleeding has occurred. Bleeding of any sort is very rare.
