Tinnitus is medically called tinnitus and can develop due to many different reasons. Exposure to loud noise, earwax, ear infections, blood pressure problems, and inner ear damage are among the most common causes. It can also be seen as a side effect of stress and some medications. If you have tinnitus complaints, it is important to consult an ENT specialist.
Sinusitis is a condition that occurs with the inflammation of the sinus cavities. Nasal congestion, facial pain, headache and postnasal drip are the most prominent symptoms. Acute sinusitis is usually treated with antibiotics and nasal sprays, while surgical intervention may be required for chronic sinusitis. Early diagnosis is of great importance in the treatment of sinusitis.
Nasal congestion can be caused by many reasons such as allergies, flu, sinusitis, nasal polyps or deviation (nasal curvature). The treatment method varies depending on the underlying cause. While nasal decongestant sprays provide short-term relief, a detailed examination by an ENT specialist is required for permanent congestion. Surgical operations may also be preferred in necessary cases.
Rhinoplasty, i.e. after rhinoplasty, breathing problems may rarely occur. However, this situation is usually caused by the technical errors of the surgery and can be corrected with revision operations. An experienced physician in both aesthetic and functional ENT surgery should be preferred for successful aesthetic and functional results.
Postnasal drip is characterized by the feeling of mucus flowing from the back of the nose to the throat. Allergies, sinusitis, reflux and infections are among the most common causes of postnasal drip. Treatment is usually done with nasal sprays, allergy medications and antibiotics if necessary. It is necessary to see an ENT doctor in case of persistent postnasal drip.
Ear pain can be caused by many different reasons such as outer ear canal infections, otitis media, dental problems and temporomandibular joint disorders. Severe, persistent earaches or those accompanied by hearing loss should be taken seriously and should be evaluated by an ENT specialist.
Avoiding noisy environments, paying attention to ear hygiene, having regular audiological check-ups, and using a hearing aid if necessary can help slow down the progression of hearing loss.
Dizziness is a general feeling of imbalance, while vertigo is a specific type of dizziness where a person feels like their surroundings are spinning. It is usually caused by inner ear problems.
