A visit to your ENT surgeon Abu Dhabi is recommended if you encounter with any of the following symptoms and combinations that are generally seen among kids as well as adults.
Congestion - It is a condition of discomfort and pain and you suffer from headaches and dizziness. These symptoms often results in viral infections, seasonal allergies, and acute bacterial infections. If congestion continues then it may be related to a deviated septum. Hearing Loss – This can happen when there is an issue with an eardrum, ear canal or the three bones connected to the eardrum. At times temporary hearing loss can happen but when this condition persists it can permanently damage your ear. Sinus Pain –Allergies can cause pain in your face, upper teeth or in your ear, drainage that is obstructed or nasal congestion. Sinuses become inflamed and very sore when problems are present. It can even last up to few days and taking an immediate proper treatment is required. Sore Throat –You might be having difficulty in swallowing or a loss of voice if you suffer from a sore throat. If this condition becomes severe you may not be able to drink water. It may be because of some serious issues like tonsillitis, or maybe something less severe like GERD. Airway Blockage –You find it difficult to breathe properly and comfortably through your nose. There may be several reasons for this such as deviated septum, viral infection, or the development of polyps. Headaches – They are not always the result of a sinus problem. Respiratory infections, chronic sinusitis, or anatomic abnormalities can also cause severe continuous headache. Sometimes a CT scan is used in diagnosing headaches to find out the cause before starting the treatment. Drainage –A runny nose or postnasal drip is a symptom of drainage. You may be suffering from acid reflux if your postnasal drip is chronic. Airborne allergies, infections, or a deviated septum may be some of the causes.
