Otorhinolaryngology-ENT, a branch of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the ear, throat, pharynx and nose. These are very common diseases, bearing in mind that the mouth and nose are the entrance routes for all microorganisms and harmful agents into our body. The nose is the primary organ for filtering particles in inhaled air, i.e. the first line of immune defense.
Upper respiratory tract infections represent irritation and edema of the mucous membrane, and the causative agents of upper respiratory tract infections are viruses and bacteria. These infections can happen at any time, but are more common in the fall and winter months. When it comes to diseases of the throat and pharynx, sore throats, swallowing problems, and voice problems are common problems.
Nasal ailments can also be very diverse, from common colds to sinus problems and allergic reactions. The otorhinolaryngologist will conduct the necessary tests to determine the cause of the symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment that will alleviate the patient's condition.
In ear diseases, the most common problems that occur are ear infections, followed by hearing problems, as well as various infections that can be very painful and uncomfortable. An otolaryngologist performs various tests to determine the cause of the problem and recommend appropriate treatment.
