Ear Nose Throat Inflammation — Which Doctor Should I See?

Common causes include viral infections like colds and flu, bacterial infections, allergies, smoking, dry air, and acid reflux. These conditions irritate the mucous membranes in the ENT region.

Symptoms typically include sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, ear pain or pressure, difficulty swallowing, and sometimes fever. You may also experience cough or hoarseness.

Seek medical attention if symptoms persist beyond 10 days, you have severe pain, difficulty breathing, high fever, or if symptoms worsen despite home care. Professional evaluation is important for proper diagnosis.
