You can list questions that you wanted to ask before seeing us. For example, what are the symptoms you are experiencing that may be related to your throat condition and how are these symptoms daily activities? Make sure you share as many details with your doctor during the scheduled appointment in order for an accurate assessment to be made.
You should expect a personalized, caring and professional service during your meeting with the ENT specialist. Your visit should be a pleasant one and will begin much as a typical visit to your family physician. Your doctor should be well-trained to assess the health of your throat and conduct series of tests to help arrive with the proper treatment for your condition. Should there be various treatment options, it will also be presented to you.
There are two masses of tissue called tonsils at the back of your throat which act as filters, trapping germs that could otherwise enter your airways and cause infection. They also produce antibodies to fight infection. However there are times the tonsils become infected when they are overwhelmed by bacteria or viruses. In such a situation, they swell and become inflamed, a condition known as tonsillitis.
Tonsillitis is common, especially in children. The condition can occur occasionally or recur frequently.
If tests reveal bacteria, treatment will consist of antibiotics to cure the infection. Although symptoms will likely improve within two or three days after starting the antibiotic, it's important to take all of the medication your doctor prescribes to make sure the bacteria are gone. Some people need to take a second course of antibiotics to cure the infection.
However, if tonsillitis is recurrent or persistent, or if enlarged tonsils cause upper airway obstruction or difficulty eating, surgical removal of the tonsils, called tonsillectomy, may be necessary.
Bad breath, medically called halitosis, can result from poor dental health habits and may be a sign of other health problems. Bad breath can also be made worse by the types of foods you eat and other unhealthy lifestyle habits.
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth may be a warning sign of gum (periodontal) disease. Many other diseases and illnesses may cause bad breath including respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis, chronic sinus infections, postnasal drip, diabetes, chronic acid reflux, and liver or kidney problems.
An ENT specialist is a doctor with specialized knowledge in the management of throat disorders. They are able to prescribe appropriate treatment for both adults and children.
The consultation fee for the first visit starts from $150. Patients will be advised on the estimated bill and their average length of stay should any procedure be required.
Your health is our top priority and we want to avoid you having to wait too long in the clinic. As such, we strongly advise that you make an appointment with our staff so that our ENT specialist will meet you on a scheduled time. Please call or email us for an appointment.
