What diseases does an otolaryngologist treat?
An otolaryngologist specializes in the treatment of otitis media - inflammation of the ear, which can be external or middle.
Otitis externa is often caused by moisture entering the ear canal (for example, from swimming) and the rapid growth of bacteria or fungi. Otitis media is usually associated with infections spreading from the nasopharynx into the ear cavity. The main symptoms of otitis media include severe ear pain, hearing loss, fever, and (sometimes) discharge from the ear canal.
You should also contact an ENT specialist if you have allergic reactions, which often manifest as rhinitis or chronic inflammatory processes in the ENT organs. The main symptoms of such pathologies include itching, sneezing, nasal congestion and deterioration in general health.
Pediatric ENT treats:
- Sinusitis Inflammation of one or more sinuses is caused by infections, allergies and polyps. Manifestations: headache, nasal congestion and decreased sense of smell.
- Tonsillitis (tonsillitis) Tonsillitis. Symptoms: sore throat, difficulty swallowing and fever. The causative agents of this pathology are often viruses or bacteria (especially streptococci).
- Laryngitis Inflammation of the larynx caused by a viral infection or overstrain of the vocal cords. Manifestations: hoarseness, dry throat and cough.
- Rhinitis Inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Acute rhinitis is often associated with colds and flu, while chronic rhinitis is triggered by allergies. Symptoms: itching, sneezing and profuse nasal discharge.
How does a consultation with a pediatric ENT doctor work at home?
A consultation with a pediatric ENT doctor at home begins with a conversation between the doctor and the parents of the sick child. The doctor will ask questions about how long your symptoms have lasted, their nature, and what medications or treatments have already been tried.
Next is an examination of the child. To do this, the doctor uses special tools:
- Otoscope. Allows you to assess the condition of the ear canal and eardrum
- Laryngoscope. Intended for examination of the throat and vocal cords
- Rhinoscope. Designed for examining the nasal passages
Depending on the situation, the specialist takes a swab from the throat, which is then sent for bacteriological analysis.
