What are the common symptoms of otitis media?
Ear pain, fever, a feeling of fullness, reduced hearing, and sometimes pus discharge from the ear are common signs, especially in children.
How can sinusitis be recognised?
Facial pain or pressure, a blocked nose, thick nasal discharge, reduced smell, and headache lasting beyond ten days may point to sinusitis.
When is tonsil removal usually advised?
Surgery may be considered for frequent, severe tonsil infections, breathing or sleep problems caused by enlarged tonsils, or repeated abscesses.
Why should cotton buds not be used to clean ears?
They can push wax deeper, scratch the ear canal, and even injure the eardrum, so ear cleaning should be left to doctors.
How can ear, nose, and throat problems be prevented?
Avoiding smoking and tobacco, keeping ears dry, limiting loud noise, treating allergies early, and maintaining good hand hygiene help reduce many ENT problems.
