ENT doctors can treat conditions that affect the head and neck systems. That includes ear problems like pain, itchiness, burning, leaking, swimmers’ ear, infection, hearing loss, sudden deafness, and tinnitus. Any issues that affect the nose such as allergies, sinusitis, and any other obstruction that can affect breathing and sense of smell are also treated by ENTs.

Throat issues such as difficulty swallowing, pain, tonsillitis, voice changes, diseases of the larynx, and mouth and throat cancer are also diagnosed and treated by ENTs. Head and neck pain could be a sign of infection, cranial nerve disorder, or tumor (benign or malignant). ENT doctors can also address facial trauma and deformities as a result of growth abnormalities. Congenital malformations and cancers that affect the ears, neck, and threat can also be addressed by ENTs.
