An ENT physician is a specialist who concentrates on diseases and disorders of the ears nose and throat. The technical term for this area of specialization is Otolaryngology, which is a shortening of otorhinolaryngology, a portmanteau word combining the Greek prefixes oto- (ear), rhino- (nose), and laryngo- (larynx area).
Also called laryngeal spasm, your “gag reflex” is triggered when food or a foreign object touches the back of your throat, your tonsils, or the roof of your mouth. Two parts of your throat work to activate the gag reflex – the pharynx and the larynx.
If your ENT suspects that you may be suffering from hearing loss, he or she will most likely order a hearing test to be performed. In this diagnostic procedure, each ear is tested individually using several different frequencies . You will then need to indicate whether or not you heard the tone that was played.
Meaning “little grape” in Latin, the uvula serves multiple purposes. It helps lubricate the back of your mouth, moves the soft palate for better enunciation, helps close the soft palate while swallowing, and direct nasal secretions to your throat.
A cold is nothing to sneeze at, and if your child has come down with one it is a good idea to keep him or her home from school for monitoring. Not only will this help your child recover faster, it also keeps the cold from being shared with others.
Tinnitus, or a constant ringing or sound in the inner ear, is a frustrating condition from which many people suffer. Advances in medicine and treatment have made diagnosis more precise and treatment a possibility.
Pediatric otolaryngology is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, and throat disorders and illnesses in children. This covers a wide range of problems including recurring ear or sinus infections, voice disorders and congenital malformations of the head and neck.

Noisy breathing in infants is sometimes caused by a laryngomalacia, a congenital condition. While most children suffering from this outgrow it, there are those who do not. If you are concerned about noisy breathing from your child, have him or her checked.
Approximately 60% of ear infections are known to be caused by bacteria while the other 40% are caused by viruses. The latter cannot be cured with the use of antibiotics.
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves using a bronchoscope, a device that helps directly look at the airway to diagnose any problems. It allows your ENT specialist to better visualize all airway parts under magnification.
The development of a secondary infection in the sinuses can simply be avoided by promptly treating allergies and colds. Nasal congestion can be significantly reduced with frequent use of nasal sprays.
Did you know that humans smell better than they see? The human nose has about 400 types of olfactory receptors capable of distinguishing more than a trillion different scents.
Did you know that sneezing styles are largely genetic? The next time you see someone with a funny sneeze, you can expect the other members of the family to sneeze the same way!
