Symptoms & Treatment
Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders can lead to a range of symptoms affecting these areas. Common ear-related symptoms include hearing loss, ear pain, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and dizziness. In the nose, individuals may experience nasal congestion, runny nose, sinus pressure or pain, and loss of smell. Throat issues often manifest as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, and persistent coughing. Treatment options vary based on the specific condition and may include medications such as pain relievers, antihistamines, decongestants, and antibiotics for infections. Surgical interventions like ear tube placement, tonsillectomy, and sinus surgery may be necessary for more severe cases. Additionally, therapies such as speech therapy and allergy management can help address specific symptoms. Consulting an ENT specialist is crucial for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment to effectively manage these disorders.
