FAQ's

You should consult an ENT specialist if you notice any one or multiple symptoms that affect your ears, nose, and throat, some of which include:

Pain in the ear, nose, or throat
Loss of hearing, sense of taste, and smell
Headache, accompanied by facial pain and pressure
Nasal congestion and discharge
Post-nasal drip
Itchy, watery eyes
Disturbance in sleep cycle, accompanied by mood problems, waking up with a dry throat, or feeling dizziness while walking, which could be signs of obstructive sleep apnea
Impacted ear wax
Issues with balancing yourself
Scratchy throat, cough, or hoarseness
Nose bleeds
Thyroid mass

During your consultation, your symptoms, medical and family history, and any previous treatments you have had will be thoroughly reviewed. Based on the initial assessments, they may conduct physical examinations and recommend undergoing one or more diagnostic imaging or screening procedures to obtain a precise diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, a discussion is held on appropriate treatment plans that can address your condition. In the event that surgery is required, our specialists will inform you of the type and events of the procedure, including its risks, expected outcome, and duration.

Sinusitis, characterised by inflammation of the sinuses, typically results from viral or bacterial infections. These infections trigger an immune response, causing the sinus linings to swell and block normal drainage. The resulting congestion creates a conducive environment for further infection. Treating sinusitis involves a multifaceted approach. Antibiotics are used for bacterial infections, targeting the underlying cause. Decongestants provide relief by reducing nasal congestion, and nasal irrigation helps flush out mucus and alleviate symptoms. In addition, supportive measures like rest and hydration aid in recovery.

Diagnosing sleep apnea involves comprehensive sleep studies that monitor breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and other factors. Once diagnosed, treatment strategies are tailored to the severity of the condition. At the sleep clinic in Apollo Hospitals in Secunderabad, we offer various treatment strategies, such as weight management in the case of snorers who are overweight or obese, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and surgery to manage airway obstruction. Additional treatment options, like positional, behavioural, oral appliances, and psychotherapy, are also provided.

Symptoms are different in infants, toddlers, and adolescent children. If your infant does not get startled or upset by loud voices, recognises your voice, does not turn their head in the direction of the sound, or does not mimic sounds or simple words, you may need to consult an ENT specialist. For toddlers and older children, symptoms usually include:

Delayed or abnormal speech and language skills
Difficulty in learning
Unable to pay attention to conversations or respond when called or questioned
Insistence on turning the volume up when listening to music or television \
Trouble hearing background noise

The frequency of follow-up appointments is mostly based on the severity of your condition and how well you stick to the recovery instructions provided by our specialist. Our ENT specialists at Apollo Hospitals in Secunderabad will work with you based on your availability to schedule follow-up appointments and monitor your progress. It is important that, during your recovery phase, you follow proper instructions to enhance your recovery and achieve optimal outcomes.
