rare case of “quinsy with uncommon complication” and its manaement with review of literature is reported. Quinsy as a complication of acute or chronic Tonsillitis and Dental Infection is still seen at regular frequency inspite of modern antibiotics. This case inspite of having an early and proper incision and drainage ended up having retro and para-pharyngeal abscess which tracked down leading to Mediastinitis and Empyetna Chest. Early Inter-Costal drainage prevented fatality and helped in rapid recovery.

Infections of the upper respiratory tract include inflammations of the nose, sinuses (sinusitis), pharynx (tonsillitis, pharyngitis) and larynx (laryngitis) with bacteria or viruses as the main cause of these conditions. Due to their repetitive nature, chronic respiratory infections represent a global problem which is often a result of an improper treatment. If not treated adequately, these conditions may have serious consequences. On the other hand, mis - and overuse of antibiotics has reduced their efficiency and accelerated the development of resistant bacterial strains, which further complicates the treatment of infections. This literature review will focus on current knowledge regarding medicinal plants and mushrooms which have been traditionally used in treatment of infections caused by chronic sinusitis and tonsillitis commonly linked bacteria - Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis. The present literature overview might be considered as a starting point for the development of novel, natural antimicrobial products with potential practical use in the treatment of chronic tonsillitis and sinusitis.
