### Patient: Doctor, I've been having a lot of trouble swallowing, and my throat is really sore. I think I might have tonsillitis.
### Doctor: Okay, I will need to run some medical tests to confirm the diagnosis. I recommend an evaluation and consultation, as well as an otologic diagnosis and treatment. We may also need to perform an excision or removal of your tonsils, or even a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. Additionally, we may need to conduct a biopsy, and carry out other diagnostic procedures.
