Frequently Asked Questions About Our ENT Clinic
When Should You Consult an ENT Specialist in Singapore?
It is advisable to consult an ENT doctor if signs and symptoms persist for an extended period, for this may indicate a more severe medical concern. Common signs that require medical attention include hearing loss; tinnitus (ringing sensations in the ear); recurring throat, ear, or sinus pain; vertigo or balance problems; snoring that causes difficulty breathing; and voice problems or difficulty swallowing.
What Should You Expect at Your ENT Visit?
During your first visit, your ENT specialist will review your medical history and conduct a thorough physical examination of your ears, nose, and throat. Depending on your symptoms, additional tests like hearing tests, imaging studies, or nasal endoscopy may be recommended. Once a diagnosis is made, your doctor will discuss personalised treatment options, which may include medication, surgery, or therapy.
