What is ENT?
ENT, or Otolaryngology, is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. ENT specialists, also known as otolaryngologists, are trained to address various conditions, including hearing loss, sinus infections, tonsillitis, voice disorders, allergies, and head and neck cancers.
Conditions Treated by ENT Specialists:
- Ear Disorders: ENT specialists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the ear, including hearing loss, ear infections (otitis media), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo, and ear wax buildup.
- Nose and Sinus Issues: ENT specialists manage nasal and sinus conditions such as sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and nasal obstruction.
- Throat Disorders: ENT specialists address throat conditions such as tonsillitis, sore throat (pharyngitis), voice disorders (dysphonia), swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), and throat cancer.
- Head and Neck Disorders: ENT specialists diagnose and treat head and neck conditions, including thyroid disorders, salivary gland disorders, neck masses, and head and neck cancers.
When to See an ENT Specialist:
You should consider seeing an ENT specialist if you experience symptoms such as chronic ear pain or infections, persistent nasal congestion, recurrent sore throat, difficulty swallowing or breathing, voice changes, dizziness or any other concerns related to the ear, nose, or throat. ENT specialists can provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans to address your specific condition.
