Q: Can the HPV vaccine protect me from getting head and neck cancer?

A: Yes! The HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing infections from high-risk HPV types, including HPV-16, which causes most HPV-related head and neck cancers.

The vaccine is recommended for both males and females, ideally before exposure to the virus. However, adults up to age 45 may still benefit from vaccination.

Q: What to do if my baby does not pass the Newborn Hearing Test?

A: If your baby does not pass the initial hearing screening, further testing is needed to confirm if there is a hearing loss. Early diagnosis and intervention can greatly improve your child’s ability to develop communication skills. Always consult with your Otolaryngologist or ENT Specialist for guidance.

If you're into health and beauty treatment, you probably heard of ear candling. It is the practice of placing a cone-shaped wax into the ear. The candle is then lit and burned for a few minutes. It is said to relieve ear pain and remove ear wax. However, studies shows that ear candling has no therapeutic value and no approved medical use. Melted wax could burn your skin or it can even clog your ear passage which causes hearing loss. Ear candling is also not advisable to patients with perforated ear drum or concurrent ear infection.

It is better to consult your ENT practitioners for any ear concerns. It is always and has been best to avail of professional treatment. Go to your ENT doctor near you.
