Beyond common conditions such as headache, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, sore throat, tinnitus, ear discharge, infection and snoring, the ENT department also handles head and neck mass evaluations, thyroid and parathyroid diseases and tumors, salivary gland diseases and tumors, head and neck tumors (such as larynx, nasopharynx, oral cavity, sinus and skull base tumors), nasal aesthetics and facial cosmetic procedures, and the treatment of hearing loss and eardrum problems requiring surgical intervention. Conditions commonly seen in children, such as tonsillitis and adenoid issues, are also within the scope of treatment.
