Nose Conditions

Nasal problems may be minimal or they may seriously interfere with the quality of one’s life. Symptoms may include obstruction, discharge, facial pain and or loss of smell. The earlier one deals with these, the easier they are to treat and the more likely on is to avoid surgery.

The commonest cause of nasal obstruction is Rhinitis.
This is a condition which is often but not alwaysdue to allergy. The lining of the nose becomes inflamed and swollen. Adequate medical management should resolve this. Occasionally however surgery may be required. 

Other causes of nasal obstruction are septal deviation and polyps. 
Septal deviation does not always require correction but to correct it requires a thirty minute procedure (Septoplasty) 

Polyps should first be treated medically. Only if you remain symptomatic after adequate

medical management will surgery be considered. Contrary to common mythology, polyps do not often return following adequate modern surgery. (Endoscopic sinus surgery) They commonly did following simple polypectomy 

Up to twenty-five years ago E.N.T Surgeons would perform surgery on the individual sinuses that had become infected using procedures such as wash-outs, antrostomies and operations with cheek incisions. 
Those procedures either resulted in a lot of facial swelling or were very uncomfortable as well as associated with nasal packs. We no longer carry out such procedures except in rare circumstances.

They are now obsolete as are plain sinus films (in chronic disease.) The development of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and the advent of the CT scan has ushered in a new philosophy allowing the surgeon to target an area in the anterior Ethmoidal sinus region. Called the ostio-meatal complex (OMC) Obstruction in the OMC can lead to subsequent infection of the maxillary, ethmoidal and frontal sinuses.

Accordingly endoscopic sinus surgery through the nose, removes thickened and diseased tissue that blocks the OMC. Most of the healthy tissue in the sinuses is undisturbed allowing for rapid recovery. 

The endoscopic approach is a much better and more effective way of removing nasal polyps, (compared to simple polypectomy)  allowing for more complete removal and much better subsequent medical control if indicated.

The endoscopic approach is also the modern way of dealing with severe nose bleeds and some tear-duct problems as well as some neurosurgical diseases in collaboration with neurosurgeons.


Throat Conditions

A sore throat is pain, scratchiness or irritation of the throat that often worsens when you swallow. The most common cause of a sore throat (pharyngitis) is a viral infection, such as a cold or the flu. A sore throat caused by a virus resolves on its own.

Strep throat (streptococcal infection), a less common type of sore throat caused by bacteria, requires treatment with antibiotics to prevent complications. Other less common causes of sore throat might require more complex treatment.


Ear Conditions

Earache? Earaches usually occur in children, but they can occur in adults as well. An earache may affect one or both ears, but the majority of the time it’s in one ear. It may be constant or come and go, and the pain may be dull, sharp, or burning.

If you have an ear infection, fever and temporary hearing loss may occur. Young children who have ear infections tend to be fussy and irritable. They may also tug or rub their ears.

Ear Wax
Your ear canal produces a waxy oil called cerumen, which is more commonly known as earwax. This wax protects the ear from dust, foreign particles, and microorganisms. It also protects ear canal skin from irritation due to water. In normal circumstances, excess wax finds its way out of the canal and into the ear opening naturally, and then is washed away.

When your glands make more earwax than necessary, it may get hard and block the ear.

Eardrum Peforation
A perforated or burst eardrum is a hole in the eardrum. It'll usually heal within a few weeks and might not need any treatment. But it's a good idea to see a GP if you think your eardrum has burst, as it can cause problems such as ear infections.

Signs of a perforated eardrum, or an ear infection caused by a perforated eardrum, include:
Sudden hearing loss – you may find it difficult to hear anything or your hearing may just be slightly muffled
Earache or pain in your ear
Itching in your ear
Fluid leaking from your ear
A high temperature
Ringing or buzzing in your ear (tinnitus)

The symptoms will usually pass once your eardrum has healed or any infection has been treated.
