Otolaryngologists are MD or DO physicians trained in the medical and surgical treatment and management of diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, and throat and related structures of the head and neck. Because of their specialized focus on the ear, nose, and throat, Otolaryngologists are often referred to as ENT Physicians or ENT Doctors. According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, Otolaryngology is the oldest recognized medical specialty in the United States, dating back as far back as the 19th century.

Allergy shots (allergy immunotherapy) have been around for decades. For many people, allergy shots can be an effective medical therapy for severe allergy symptoms. For others, the inconvenience of frequent trips to a medical office and fear of needles make allergy shots an unattractive form of allergy treatment. For those patients, allergy drops may be a much better alternative to achieve similar, long-lasting relief of allergy symptoms.

At some point, almost every child in the United States will have at least one episode of tonsillitis. This is the most common form of bacterial pharyngitis (throat infection), especially in school-aged children. This bothersome and often painful condition occurs when the tonsils, which are lymphoid (antibody-producing) organs on the side of the throat, become inflamed due to a viral or bacterial infection. If you have five or more episodes of acute tonsillitis in a 12-month period, or you suspect you may have a tonsil or adenoid problem, an ENT doctor should be consulted.

Anyone can develop obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), although in adults, it most commonly affects middle-aged and older adults and people who are overweight. For most adult patients and some children, a sleep study may be needed to diagnose OSA. Adults or children with any of the following symptoms should definitely be evaluated for sleep apnea:
Constant snoring in any sleeping position
Ongoing daytime fatigue or sleepiness
Episodes of breathing pauses during sleep

The swelling of the mucus membranes lining the sinuses can lead to a condition commonly referred to as a “sinus headache.” Patients typically experience pain under, between, or above the eyes, and in the upper teeth. This discomfort is a result of inflamed mucus membranes blocking normal sinus drainage passages and causing mucus to become trapped in the obstructed sinuses. Sinus headaches and facial pain are often a symptom of sinusitis. Learn more at https://cornerstoneent.com/charlotte-sinus-and-allergy-center/sinus-headaches/

Sinus headaches could be a sign of sinusitis. Our sinus specialists can diagnose your sinus problem and help find a solution.

Nasal (or sinus) polyps are soft, painless growths that occur in the mucus lining of the nasal cavity as a result of chronic inflammation. Polyps have a pale, watery appearance and often look like a bunch of small grapes. Although it’s unclear why some people develop nasal polyps and others do not, people with asthma, recurrent sinus infections, allergies to environmental agents, aspirin intolerance, fungal sinusitis and certain immune disorders are more prone to developing nasal polyps.
