FAQ's Related to ENT Surgeon

What does an ENT surgeon do?

Otolaryngologists (also known as ENT surgeons) are responsible for the diagnosis and management of diseases of head and neck and mainly the ears, nose and throat (ENT). They are trained to do surgery. The tests required before and during the consultation by an ENT surgeon include:

  • Throat Culture Test
  • Otoscopy
  • Nasal Endoscopy

Tympanometry is a common hearing test. In this test, air and sound are directed to the middle ear to find if there are changes in pressure in the middle ear. This test helps the doctor find out how the middle ear is functioning.

When should you go to see an ENT surgeon?

Ear, nose, and throat disorders like mild infections could often be treated at your home or by your general physician, but there are a few occasions when it is best to consult an ENT surgeon. Some of the symptoms which require a consultation with an ENT surgeon are:

  1. Sore throat, sinus pain, ear aches
