What does an ENT typically treat?
ENT specialists treat ear disease, hearing loss, sinus and allergy problems, throat disorders, dizziness or vertigo, sleep-related breathing issues, and some head-and-neck growths.
When should I seek emergency care instead of a routine ENT appointment?
Seek emergency care for trouble breathing or swallowing, severe neck or throat swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or sudden hearing loss. Routine ENT visits are more appropriate for recurring sinus symptoms, ear infections, snoring, or gradual hearing changes.
