Treatments: Ear, Nose, and Throat
Narrow your search by choosing a category from the list below.
Nasal air flow
Treatment options for breathing difficulty, from the nose to the windpipe, are discussed in greater detail here.
sinus infections
Treatment of sinus infections typically begins with medical therapy, but if initial efforts fail to resolve the problem, options expand to include medicated sinus rinses, antibiotic use based on a sinus culture and sensitivity test, and procedures such as balloon sinuplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery.
nose shape and nasal fractures
Reshaping of the nose is a common request, and there are several ways to accomplish this, depending on the situation. If a nasal fracture is no more than 14 days old, for example, simple closed reduction may be undertaken. Other situations may call for more involved procedures.
Oral cavity and salivary glands
Management of infections, growths, and anatomic problems predominates in the (non-dental) treatment of the oral cavity and salivary glands.
ears
Hearing, balance, infection, ear shape, and wax management treatments are detailed further here.
throat
Throat treatments may be divided into categories of swallowing, breathing, infections, and tumors. Tonsils and adenoids often cross categories of breathing and infection, so this topic is given individual consideration.
Voice box (larynx)
Anyone who uses their voice but would like to improve its sound quality can benefit from some form of vocal attention which could range from strengthening exercises to surgery. Treatments for the larynx may also be necessary in circumstances of swelling or a growth compromising the airway while cancers of the larynx, while curable in most cases, benefit from early diagnosis and best treatment.
