Ear Nose & Throat (ENT) 

Our Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) specialists at Raffles Medical in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi evaluate and treat both children and adults with ear, nose, throat, head and neck problems. These may include loss of hearing, balance and coordination, ringing in the ears, sinuses, and voice and speech disorders. 

The importance of visiting ENT specialists 

Ear, nose, and throat problems are frequently dismissed and treated as unimportant. So much so, that even when people suffer from symptoms like allergies, sinuses, interrupted sleep, snoring, waxy ears, and diminished hearing that disrupt their daily lives, they choose to pay little heed instead of seeking treatment. 

If you have ever been on a plane, you must be familiar with the feeling of blocked or painful ears, which generally settles after landing. Blocked ears can make one feel dizzy and sick. Now imagine living with that feeling for days without relief. 

Similarly, living with a throat infection that is accompanied by symptoms like headache, body ache, fever, cough, and runny nose can affect quality of life and reduce appetite. Imagine not being able to enjoy even your favourite meals for days, in addition to suffering silently in pain. 

You may believe that these are little annoyances that you must live with but consider how much any of these health conditions can actually hamper your daily routine. Not only are they distracting, but they also frequently prevent you from performing your tasks to the best of your ability or simply enjoying your leisure activities to the fullest. 

You don’t have to live with problems that you consider minor when they can easily be resolved by consulting an otolaryngologist who can immediately treat these conditions with medication or by simply controlling trigger factors. Don’t let these conditions make your life a misery. Sometimes patients don’t seek treatment because they either don’t know which doctor to approach or are simply apprehensive about visiting doctors. We therefore want to inform you of the disorders or conditions that ENT doctors can diagnose and treat. 

Ear Conditions: These are the conditions arising from disorders of the ear, including nerve disorders, hearing, and balance. An ENT specialist will assess the extent of the damage and recommend a solution based on the specific case. 

Nose Conditions: Our ENTs offer treatments to relieve disorders of the nose such as facial pressure, sinuses, difficulty breathing through the nose, diminished sense of smell, or deviated septum. 

Conditions of the Neck: ENT specialists can manage problems with the nerves in the head and neck that control sight, smell, hearing, as well as facial movements. These include disorders of the throat, speech, eating, and swallowing. 

If you’re suffering from any of the above or related conditions or allergies, our team of otolaryngologists can recommend and provide treatments that will significantly reduce discomfort, bring you immediate relief, and restore quality of life.
