Common Symptoms an ENT Treats
When a general practitioner cannot resolve or identify your ear, nose or throat-related issue, they will typically refer you to an otolaryngologist.
- Frequent hoarseness or sore throat
- Lump or swelling in neck
- Snoring and/or stop breathing while sleeping
- Repeat sinus infections
- Seasonal nasal symptoms
- Facial pain or pressure
- Sinus headaches
- Congestion
- Sudden hearing loss
If you experience one or more of these questions, it might be time to see an ENT.

3. Set Your First-Time Visit Expectations
An otolaryngologist will ask you questions about your symptoms and typically examine your ears and sinuses, feel your neck for lumps and visually inspect your throat and tonsils.
Further testing, including X-rays or CT scans, may be requested before a diagnosis is determined.
