Frequently Asked Questions — Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
When should I see an ENT Specialist?+
Visit an ENT specialist for recurrent sore throats, chronic sinus congestion lasting over 12 weeks, hearing loss, persistent ear pain or discharge, snoring with daytime sleepiness (possible sleep apnea), voice changes lasting more than 2 weeks, or a lump in the neck that does not resolve.
What is the treatment for chronic sinusitis?+
Treatment begins with nasal saline irrigation, nasal corticosteroid sprays, and a course of antibiotics if bacterial infection is present. For cases not responding to 3 months of medical therapy, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) may be recommended to improve drainage and ventilation.
Can hearing loss be reversed?+
It depends on the type. Conductive hearing loss caused by ear wax, fluid buildup, or otosclerosis can often be corrected with treatment or surgery. Sensorineural hearing loss (nerve-related) is usually permanent but can be managed with hearing aids or cochlear implants. Early evaluation improves outcomes.
Why do I keep getting ear infections?+
Recurrent ear infections may be caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction, enlarged adenoids (common in children), allergies, chronic sinusitis, swimming in contaminated water, or immune deficiency. An ENT specialist can identify the cause and may recommend preventive measures or a minor procedure like grommet insertion.
