Tinnitus is the perception of ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears. Treatments include sound therapy, hearing aids, and lifestyle changes, depending on the underlying cause.
Ear infections are often caused by bacteria or viruses, commonly after a cold or upper respiratory infection. Treatment may include medications like antibiotics or pain relievers, and in severe cases, surgical procedures like ear tubes.
Signs include difficulty understanding speech, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, and needing to turn up the volume on electronic devices.
Sinusitis is caused by inflammation or infection of the sinuses due to allergies, infections, or structural issues. Management options include medications, nasal sprays, or surgery in chronic cases.
Nosebleeds can result from dry air, allergies, nose picking, or underlying conditions like high blood pressure. An ENT specialist can evaluate the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
Deviated septum surgery (septoplasty) corrects the displacement of the nasal septum, improving breathing. It’s necessary if the deviation causes significant symptoms like nasal obstruction or sinus infections.
A sore throat can be due to infections, acid reflux, allergies, or prolonged vocal strain. An ENT specialist can determine the cause and recommend treatment.
Tonsils are tissues at the back of the throat that help fight infections. Removal (tonsillectomy) is recommended if they frequently get infected or cause breathing problems, such as sleep apnea.
