Ear nose and throat health

An Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist is a doctor trained to treat problems with the ears, nose, and throat. Think of them like experts for everything from the neck up, except the brain and eyes. If you have issues like hearing loss, sinus infections, voice changes, or tonsillitis, they're the go-to doctors. They can also handle surgeries in these areas if needed. For patients, it's good to see an ENT if regular treatments aren’t helping with persistent earaches, snoring, nosebleeds, or a sore throat. They can offer specialized care that general doctors might not. To protect yourself as a patient, always tell the ENT about any medicines you’re taking and ask lots of questions if you're unclear about anything. If you need surgery, it's okay to ask about their experience and any risks involved. It's essential to be informed and feel comfortable with the care you're receiving.
