What does an otolaryngologist do?

Symptoms of ENT diseases are similar to colds and flu. In the acute form of the disease are accompanied by fever, body aches. A patient feels lethargic and tired. The basis for a visit to the otolaryngologist is any discomfort in the nose, throat or ears, as well as:

• difficulty in nasal breathing;
• redness and swelling of the nasopharyngeal mucosa, pain when swallowing;
• ear pain;
• decrease in hearing and smell, sensitivity of taste buds;
• discharge from the nose, ears;
• pain in the upper jaw, in the eye area;
• increase in lymph nodes located in the nose, neck, behind the ears.

The otolaryngology Department deals with foreign objects stuck in the nose, throat or ear, injuries to the eardrum and nasal septum, burns of the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx.

Treatment of ENT diseases

Treatment of ENT diseases is carried out comprehensively. During the first visit, an otolaryngologist studies the medical history, examines a patient, and, if necessary, prescribes instrument and laboratory tests.

The medical center "ON Clinic Poltava" treats the following:

• acute and chronic inflammatory processes in the nose (rhinitis, sinusitis);
• inflammation of the throat (pharyngitis, tonsillitis);
• diseases of hearing organs (otitis, hearing loss);
• benign tumors of the nasal cavity (polyps, hemangiomas) or ear (papillomas), etc.

ENT infections are dangerous due to their complications and the possibility of infection spreading to neighboring organs. Otitis is often added to acute rhinitis, and pharyngitis can result in bronchitis. In order for the disease not to cause complications, a timely visit to the ENT specialist is necessary for making a diagnosis and starting treatment.

With early diagnosis, most diseases are treated conservatively. Drugs for internal and external use, inhalation, course of laser and ultrasound physiotherapy, rinsing of the tonsils and nasal cavity are prescribed to a patient.
