FAQ's

What is an otolaryngologist?

An otolaryngologist, often called an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist, is a physician who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the ears, nose, throat, and related areas of the head and neck. These doctors are trained to manage a wide range of issues, from hearing loss and sinus problems to voice disorders and throat cancers.

What does an ENT specialist do?

What are the symptoms of ear, nose, and throat infections?

Symptoms of an ear infection often include ear pain, itching, a feeling of fullness, and sometimes a discharge or reduced hearing. A nose infection, such as sinusitis, can cause nasal congestion, a blocked or runny nose, facial pressure, headaches, and sometimes a fever. Throat infections, like tonsillitis or pharyngitis, usually present with a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and swollen glands and may also cause a fever. If you experience these symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.

What to expect at your first ENT appointment?

During your first visit to the ENT department, an ENT specialist will conduct a detailed evaluation to understand your condition better. This process usually involves reviewing your medical history, discussing your symptoms and any concerns you may have, and performing a detailed physical examination.

Depending on your specific needs, the doctor may also recommend diagnostic tests or imaging studies, such as hearing tests or scans, to get more information. After the assessment, the specialist will explain your diagnosis and outline possible treatment options. They will work with you to create a personalised care plan that is tailored to your unique needs.

Are there any specific preparations I need to make before my ENT appointment or procedure?

Your ENT specialist will guide you on any preparations needed before your appointment or procedure. This may include fasting for certain tests, stopping specific medications, or avoiding food and drinks for a specified period. Following these instructions carefully is important for ensuring accurate test results and the best possible clinical outcomes.

Why does my child frequently get ear infections?

It is quite common for young children, especially those under three years old, to experience ear infections frequently, with many having one to two episodes annually. These infections usually occur when fluid accumulates in the middle ear after a viral or bacterial infection, such as a cold. Young children are more vulnerable because their Eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ear to the back of the throat, are shorter, more horizontal, and still developing. This makes it easier for the tubes to become swollen or blocked, leading to fluid buildup and infection.

What are the signs of hearing loss?

Hearing loss can present with various signs, such as finding it hard to follow conversations, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, and having difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, like restaurants or social gatherings. You might feel like people are mumbling or not speaking clearly, and you could end up needing to increase the volume on your television or radio more than others would.

Some people with hearing loss also experience a persistent ringing or buzzing sound in their ears, known as tinnitus. These challenges may lead to withdrawing from social interactions to avoid communication difficulties, which can sometimes contribute to feelings of frustration or depression.
