Use of photodynamic therapy to combat recurrent pharyngotonsillitis: Three case reports
Photodynamic Therapy, using a curcumin-based photosensitizer and blue LED light, appears to be a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics for the treatment of PT, demonstrating both efficacy in infection eradication and safety in application. Further studies are recommended to substantiate these findings and explore long-term outcomes.
