Anaesthesia of the tympanic membrane: comparison of EMLA cream and iontophoresis.

The authors undertook a study to evaluate the effectiveness of two methods for providing local anaesthesia of the tympanic membrane for the purpose of inserting a grommet. The methods compared were the application of EMLA (Eutectic Mixture of Local Anaesthetics) cream and the use of iontophoresis. Both methods seem to provide a satisfactory level of local anaesthesia. It was felt that where multiple procedures were to be performed in one outpatient session the use of EMLA cream might be a more efficient technique.

The use of long-acting penicillin in the prophylaxis of recurrent tonsillitis.

The authors report a study designed to explore the usefulness of long-acting penicillin in the management of recurrent tonsillitis. The trial, conducted in Sri Lanka, involved 179 patients aged 2 to 20 who had suffered multiple attacks of tonsillitis annually. The results showed a significant reduction in the number of attacks of tonsillitis experienced by the treated group, especially those aged 5 to 11, resulting in a drop in the number requiring tonsillectomy.
