Everything You Should Know About Seeking ENT Specialists’ Help At Thomson Hospital
Whenever you encounter problems with your ears, nose or throat, it is important to seek the help of ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat) specialists.
An ENT doctor specializes in diagnosing and treating any problems that affect the ear, throat and nose.
Therefore, you should seek treatment whenever you encounter any of the following symptoms:
- Nose congestion or bleeding
- Neck swelling/irritation
- Persistent sore throat (lasting more than seven days)

- Myringotomy (ear drum cutting surgery)
- Excisional Biopsy (removal of affected lymph nodes and neck lesions)
