How To Know If You Need An Appointment

You may need to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Constant sneezing, pressure in your forehead, and other symptoms are impeding on the quality of your life.
• You have chronic sinusitis that has not responded to prior treatment.
• Although you have been able to manage your asthma, your symptoms seem to be more severe and more resistant to the maintenance medication you are already taking.
• Your hearing has become muffled or completely gone.
• A lump has formed in your throat and will not go away, or has formed and makes it difficult to talk, swallow and move your neck.
• Painful, recurring ear infections. You may experience a ringing in your ears, as well.
• You have a sore throat, and you do not know why.
• You experience vertigo or dizziness as a result of having fluid in your ears, and the fluid will not dry up.
• Nasal congestion or postnasal drip does not respond to over-the-counter medication or other techniques that you have used at home.
• Unexplained voice loss for longer than a week. Sometimes allergies can interfere with proper vocal cord functioning, but if the loss is persistent, you should see a doctor.
