Question 1

When should I see an ENT specialist?

Accepted Answer

Consider a specialist consultation when symptoms last beyond two to three weeks, keep recurring, do not respond to general treatment, or involve hearing, balance, swallowing, or voice changes. Sudden hearing loss, severe vertigo, or a persistent lump in the neck deserve prompt evaluation.

Question 2

Does sinusitis always require surgery?

Accepted Answer

No. Most cases of sinusitis respond to medical management, allergy control, and lifestyle adjustments. Surgery is considered only when chronic or recurrent sinusitis fails to respond adequately to a complete medical trial, or when there is a structural cause such as polyps or significant septal deviation.

Question 3

What causes vertigo?

Accepted Answer

Vertigo has several possible causes, including inner-ear disorders such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis, or Meniere's disease, as well as non-ENT causes. A focused history, ear examination, and specific positional tests usually narrow it down so treatment can be targeted.

Question 4

Can hearing loss be treated?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases — though the approach depends on the type and cause. Conductive losses from infections, fluid, or eardrum problems can often be reversed. Sensorineural losses may be managed with hearing aids or, in selected cases, surgical options. An audiological evaluation guides the plan.

Question 5

Do you treat children?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Common pediatric concerns include recurrent ear infections, adenoid issues, tonsillitis, mouth breathing, snoring, and hearing concerns. Care is age-appropriate, conservative where possible, and explained clearly to parents.

Question 6

When should recurring throat infections be evaluated?

Accepted Answer

Frequent episodes — generally several in a year — that disrupt school, work, or sleep warrant specialist evaluation. Treatment is decided based on frequency, severity, and impact on daily life rather than on episode count alone.

Question 7

What happens during a nasal endoscopy?

Accepted Answer

A thin endoscope is used to examine the nasal passages and sinus openings in the clinic. It is a brief, well-tolerated procedure that gives direct visual information which a routine examination cannot, and often clarifies the cause of long-standing nasal symptoms.

Question 8

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

The fastest way is WhatsApp or a direct phone call. Mention your main symptom and preferred location — Mata Chanan Devi Hospital or Neo Genesis Hospital — and a suitable consultation slot will be shared with you.
