When to See an ENT Specialist — Common Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Overview:

ENT issues often start small — mild pain, blocked nose, or dizziness — but can become chronic if neglected. Here’s when you should seek medical advice early.

Persistent Ear Problems:

Itching, ear discharge, or hearing loss may indicate infection or wax buildup. Avoid using ear buds or keys.

Chronic Nasal Block or Sinusitis:

Frequent headaches, stuffy nose, or loss of smell? It could be sinus inflammation that needs ENT endoscopy.

Voice or Throat Changes:

Voice hoarseness or pain while swallowing could signal infection, reflux, or vocal cord issues.

Recurrent Dizziness or Balance Issues:

May be related to inner ear disorders that affect equilibrium.
