If you feel stuffy most days - not just when you’re sick - that’s your body telling you something isn’t working as it should.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As an ENT physician, I often see patients who’ve lived with constant congestion for years, assuming it’s allergies or something they just have to tolerate. In reality, ongoing nasal blockage can point to structural issues like a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or nasal polyps that physically limit airflow and drainage.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When sinuses can’t drain properly, inflammation lingers. That can lead to facial pressure, poor sleep, mouth breathing, reduced sense of smell, and recurrent infections.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The good news? Once we identify the underlying cause, there are effective treatment options, and relief is absolutely possible.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If congestion feels like your “normal,” it’s worth getting checked. Ask your primary care provider for a referral to see Dr. Aviva Fliker at North ENT in Vaughan and let’s get to the root of the issue.

Many people don’t realize that repeatedly clearing your throat can quietly irritate your ENT system. Each time you do it, your vocal cords forcefully slam together, causing micro-trauma to the delicate tissues of the throat and larynx. Over time, this irritation can lead to inflammation, hoarseness, a chronic “lump in the throat” sensation, voice fatigue, and even vocal cord changes.

What often surprises patients is that throat clearing is usually a symptom—not the root cause. It can be linked to reflux, post-nasal drip, allergies, sinus issues, or subtle structural concerns. The habit itself can actually keep the cycle going, making symptoms persist or worsen.

If you find yourself constantly clearing your throat, losing your voice easily, or feeling chronic irritation, it’s worth having it properly evaluated.

Ask your primary care provider for a referral to see me, Dr. Aviva Fliker, and let’s get to the root of what’s really going on. Your throat shouldn’t have to work this hard.

I often meet patients who’ve been living with symptoms for far too long (such as congestion, hearing changes, throat discomfort, sleep issues) because they’ve learned to push through or assume it’s “not serious enough” to address.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But your health isn’t something to put on the back burner. Small, persistent symptoms can quietly affect your energy, your sleep, your focus, and your quality of life over time.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Taking the step to get answers, ask questions, or seek specialist care isn’t overreacting - it’s advocating for yourself. And you deserve care that helps you feel your best, not just “fine.”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If something doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct.​​​​​​​​
Your health is always worth the effort.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you’re experiencing ongoing ENT-related concerns, ask your primary care provider for a referral to see Dr. Aviva Fliker at North ENT in Vaughan.

I care for paediatric patients, too.

ENT concerns don’t only affect adults as many children experience issues that deserve timely, specialist care. I regularly see infants, children, and teens for a wide range of ENT conditions, and I work closely with families to ensure kids feel safe, supported, and heard throughout the process.

Parents may want to consider an ENT referral for concerns such as:
Frequent ear infections or persistent fluid in the ears
Hearing or speech delays
Chronic nasal congestion or mouth breathing
Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
Snoring or sleep-disordered breathing
Recurrent sore throats or sinus infections

Early assessment can make a meaningful difference, especially when symptoms are affecting sleep, learning, or development.

I currently have shorter wait times at North ENT Clinic, and I see paediatric patients from across Vaughan and the Greater Toronto Area.

If you have concerns about your child’s ear, nose, or throat health, speak with your primary care provider about a referral to see Dr. Aviva Fliker. Early care matters and help is available.

One sign I often see that suggests someone should be evaluated by an ENT is persistent snoring or waking up feeling exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep.

Snoring and disrupted sleep aren’t just nighttime nuisances. They can be signs of underlying airway or nasal issues that are worth assessing. An ENT evaluation can help determine what’s contributing and guide appropriate treatment.

If this sounds familiar, speak with your primary care provider about getting a referral to see me at my clinic, North ENT in Vaughan.

A one-of-a-kind ENT office deserves a one-of-a-kind custom painting for the waiting room.

We commissioned to create a painting that would beautifully illustrate ear, nose, and throat anatomy in a unique way. Did she ever deliver. We are so in love with this incredible piece and know that our patients will enjoy looking at it as they wait to see Dr. Aiviva Fliker.

Thank you, Natasha 🫶

And when surgery is needed, you can feel confident knowing your care stays in experienced, capable hands.

Dedicated ENT care means taking the time to truly listen, explain your options, and create a plan that feels right for you. ENT concerns can quietly impact your quality of life, and you don’t have to just live with them.

If you wish to see me at North ENT in Vaughan please request a referral through your family doctor or a nurse practitioner.

Your ears do a lot of behind-the-scenes work, and when something feels off, it’s worth paying attention. 👂

Some signs it may be time to have your ears checked include persistent pain or pressure, changes in hearing, or new ringing or buzzing sounds. While these symptoms can be subtle, they can also signal underlying conditions that are often very treatable when caught early.

If you’re experiencing any of the above, a proper assessment can help identify what’s going on and guide the right next steps.

I see patients at North ENT Clinic in Vaughan. If you’ve been noticing changes in your ears or hearing, a referral from your primary care provider can get you started.

Your hearing health matters. 💙
