What conditions do ENT doctors treat?

Conditions treated by ENT doctors include ear infections, hearing loss, tonsillitis, problems with the adenoids, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis (also known as hay fever), sleep apnea, thyroid swellings, voice problems, and head & neck cancers. They will also manage congenital ear and throat issues for children.

Pediatric ENT care encompasses the management of tonsillitis, adenoids, ear infections, and congenital conditions, as well as other related conditions.
