Also referred to as ENT, Otorhinolaryngology is the medical discipline involving the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and management of ailments, abnormalities and other conditions that affect the ears, nose and throat, as well as the head and neck, mouth, sinuses, and voice box (larynx).  

Some of the most common ENT problems that one may experience include: Hearing loss | Ear drum perforations | Disorders of the hearing bones | External ear canal problems | Cysts and tumors in the ears | Ear wax | Fluid/recurrent infections | Ringing in ears (tinnitus) | Nasal allergies | Nasal obstruction | Nasal polyps | Nosebleeds | Snoring | Hoarseness | Sore throats | Swallowing problems | Throat cancer | Tumors of the voice box | Vocal nodules | Sinus infections | Vertigo & balance disorders among others.

The most common emergencies are nosebleeds and facial fractures, especially nose fractures. Peritonsillar abscess and epiglottitis are two severe types of sore throat that may require emergency treatment. Sudden changes in hearing and any other neurologic event also need immediate medical attention.

One needs to consult an ENT specialist immediately, if experiences some widely accepted symptoms indicating problem in the ears, nose or throat.

Ear infections can cause earache, wax or discharge, hearing loss and balance problems. Nose infections are likely to cause a runny or blocked nose and sneezing. Throat infections can cause a sore or scratchy throat and pain or difficulty swallowing.
