When is it necessary to immediately consult an ENT doctor?

Ear, nose, and throat diseases affect residents of all ages. Chronic and acute ailments that cause extremely unpleasant symptoms impair the quality of life, so it is important to properly diagnose and timely provide treatment. Rezus.lt clinic's otolaryngologist Jolita Stankūnienė reveals which symptoms require immediate assistance and provides relevant information about consultations and examinations.

From now on, ENT doctors consult and treat patients with ear, nose, throat, and vocal cord diseases at the Rezus.lt clinic located in Šiauliai. Otolaryngologist Jolita Stankūnienė, who works there, says that various ailments affect both children and adults. The most common problem affecting children is nasopharyngeal pathologies.

“These are most often adenoids or, in other words, children's polyps. Patients complain of difficulty breathing through the nose, frequent long colds, and hearing impairments,” says J. Stankūnienė.

According to the doctor, adults most often consult ENT doctors for nose problems, impaired hearing, and hoarseness of the voice. Particularly dangerous conditions include persistent shortness of breath, sudden hearing loss, and acute bleeding from the ears, nose, or throat. If you experience at least one symptom, you should not delay visiting ENT doctors.

In the clinic, it is possible to assess the condition of the nose and throat. A soft and flexible fiberscope allows examining the nasopharynx and diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux without causing pain. An otoscope is used for ear examinations, and tympanometry tests are performed to determine the sensitivity and pressure behind the eardrum. Earwax plugs are also washed in the clinic. Thanks to the latest equipment, patients do not experience pain or discomfort, and the procedure is performed not only quickly but also effectively.
