Post tonsillectomy antibiotics did not prove to have a role in minimizing postoperative morbidity. Moreover, analgesics given on the basis of as required had a limited value.
The serum IL-1beta level is significantly associated with the presence of erosions at the onset of RA but its predictive value is attenuated or lost when single or combination DMARD medication is instituted. Measuring IL-1beta at the time of diagnosis in a single patient cannot be used to estimate the erosive nature of the disease or the prognosis.
