Common ENT Diseases and Their Treatments

1.  Chronic Sinusitis

Sinusitis is a condition where the sinuses become inflamed due to infection or allergies. Chronic sinusitis lasts for more than 12 weeks and can cause facial pain, nasal congestion, and difficulty breathing.

Treatment Options:

  • Medications: Antibiotics for bacterial infections and corticosteroid sprays to reduce inflammation.
  • Nasal irrigation: Saline sprays or rinses to clear nasal passages.
  • Surgery: Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) for severe cases.

2. Tonsillitis

Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, often caused by viruses or bacteria. It leads to sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.

Treatment Options:

  • Antibiotics: For bacterial tonsillitis, such as strep throat.
  • Pain relief: Over-the-counter medications to manage discomfort.
  • Tonsillectomy: Surgical removal of tonsils in recurrent or severe cases.

3. Hearing Loss

Hearing loss can result from ear infections, aging, noise exposure, or conditions like otosclerosis. It affects communication and overall quality of life.

  • Hearing aids: For partial hearing loss.
  • Medications: For infections causing temporary hearing loss.
  • Surgical interventions: Cochlear implants or repairing damaged eardrums.

4. Allergic Rhinitis

Also known as hay fever, allergic rhinitis occurs when allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander cause inflammation of the nasal passages, leading to sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.

  • Antihistamines: To reduce allergic reactions.
  • Nasal corticosteroids: To decrease inflammation.
  • Immunotherapy: Allergy shots to desensitize the immune system.

5. Vertigo

Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness often linked to inner ear problems like vestibular neuritis or Ménière's disease.

Treatment Options:

  • Medications: To relieve nausea and dizziness.
  • Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT): Exercises to improve balance.
  • Surgical options: In rare cases of severe inner ear disorders.

6. Voice Disorders

Conditions like vocal cord nodules, polyps, or laryngitis can affect speech and voice quality. These are often caused by overuse, infections, or acid reflux.

Treatment Options:

  • Voice therapy: To retrain vocal habits.
  • Medications: To treat underlying infections or acid reflux.
