GERD is incredibly common. That doesn’t mean it should be ignored. Frequent reflux can show up as throat irritation, a lingering cough, hoarseness, or the constant urge to clear your throat, even when heartburn isn’t obvious.

Lifestyle changes like adjusting meal timing, identifying trigger foods, and improving sleep position can make a difference. When symptoms persist or start affecting your throat or voice, it’s time for expert care.

Contact C/V ENT to schedule an evaluation and get clarity on what’s driving your symptoms.

A cold and a sinus infection can feel very similar at first. However, they’re not the same, and they don’t always need the same care. While most colds resolve on their own, lingering congestion, facial pressure, or symptoms that worsen over time may point to a sinus infection.

If your symptoms aren’t improving or you’re not sure what you’re dealing with, our ENT specialists can help evaluate what’s going on and guide next steps.

Snoring and sleep apnea get lumped together all the time, but they’re not the same. One is a common (and often harmless) nighttime habit. The other is a potentially serious sleep disorder that can impact your energy, focus, and long-term health.

Fact! Temporary loss of smell is a common symptom during a cold. When nasal passages become swollen and congested, airflow to the smell receptors in the nose is blocked, making it harder to detect odors. In most cases, your sense of smell returns as the cold resolves. But if it lingers long after other symptoms clear, it may be worth looking into other causes like sinus issues, allergies, or post-viral effects.
