When to Visit an ENT Specialist
Chronic sinus infections can lead to excess pressure and pain in the head and face and can occur frequently. An ENT will treat your sinuses and provide you with methods to prevent future infections from occurring.
If you have a case of laryngitis that has lasted more than six weeks, it may have been caused by more than a common cold. Similarly, an ENT specialist should assess ear infection symptoms that have lasted more than a few days to determine your exact diagnosis and the best course of treatment for your needs.
