The ENT surgeons are trained experts who can perform surgery or provide medical treatment for different conditions associated with the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck.
Some medical conditions that are treated by an Otolaryngologist are:
Conditions of the ear, such as an infection, hearing loss, or trouble with balance
Nose issues such as allergies, sinusitis, growth, or nasal injury
Throat related conditions such as tonsillitis, difficulty in swallowing, and voice-related medical issues
Sleep associated problems including snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which the airway becomes narrow or blocked, which interrupts normal breathing while sleeping
Infections or tumors including cancerous or benign of the head or neck
Certain areas of the head are treated by other specialists such as a neurologist or an ophthalmologist. They typically deal with conditions of the brain and nervous system, while ophthalmologists provide medical care for the eyes and vision problems.
