ENT doctors are also called otolaryngologists.<br \/>\nENT is a medical abbreviation for ears, nose and throat. A doctor who specializes in treating disorders related to these organs, is called an \\&#8221;ENT,\\&#8221; or in technical terms is an otolaryngologist. ENT Treatment in India is an important branch of medicine.<br \/>\nThe ears, nose and throat are important sensory organs with great roles in day to day functioning. The ears are not just related to hearing, but also function to provide you with a sense of balance. The nose provides a sense of smell, but also partially provides for your sense of taste. The nose also plays an important function in defensive mechanisms of the body and humidifying air to prevent germs from entering the body. The throat provides the route for both air to reach the lungs, as well as the route for food and water to enter your digestive tract.<br \/>\nDysfunction to the ears, nose or throat are disruptions to daily life and in some cases may constitute a medical emergency. If you have chronic ear, nose, or throat problems, it is advisable to not only see a primary care physician, but to also include an otolaryngologist in the management of your disorder.<\/p>\n<p>The surgeries for the throat include complex procedures like Laryngectomy (cancer of the larynx) and it also include an easy procedure of Tonsillectomy (tonsils) or Adenoidectomy ( removal of the adenoids by surgery). The ear surgeries are done to correct the problems associated with hearing. The surgeries of the nose are done to treat the sinus problems. The surgeries of neck and head are performed to remove a tumor or also construct the damaged area after injury or trauma. The problem of tumors (lumps) in the parotid can be largely seen in every age group. These tumor forms from an abnormal growth of the cells inside the gland. It has been examined that about 80% of the tumors are non-cancerous and are known as Benign Tumors. Although very rarely these tumors could be cancerous.<br \/>\nENT Treatments in India are available for following conditions:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Vestibular system<br \/>\n\u2022 Acoustic Neuroma<br \/>\n\u2022 Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo<br \/>\n\u2022 Ear Disorders Caused by Drugs<br \/>\n\u2022 Herpes Zoster Oticus<br \/>\n\u2022 Meniere Disease<br \/>\n\u2022 Purulent Labyrinthitis<br \/>\n\u2022 Vestibular Neuronitis<br \/>\n\u2022 Infection (such as acute otitis media, chronic otitis media, myringitis, or mastoiditis)<br \/>\n\u2022 Blockage of the eustachian tube (which connects the middle ear and the back of the nose)<br \/>\n\u2022 Injury (such as eardrum perforation, barotrauma, or objects in the ear)<br \/>\n\u2022 Epiglottitis<br \/>\n\u2022 Laryngitis<br \/>\n\u2022 Laryngoceles<br \/>\n\u2022 Retropharyngeal Abscess<br \/>\n\u2022 Salivary Gland Disorders<br \/>\n\u2022 Submandibular Space Infection<br \/>\n\u2022 Tonsillar Cellulitis and Tonsillar Abscess<br \/>\n\u2022 Tonsillopharyngitis<br \/>\n\u2022 Vocal Cord Polyps, Nodules, and Granulomas<br \/>\n\u2022 Vocal Cord Contact Ulcers<br \/>\n\u2022 Vocal Cord Paralysis<br \/>\n\u2022 Vocal cord polyps and nodules<br \/>\n\u2022 Laryngoceles<br \/>\n\u2022 Laryngeal papillomas<br \/>\n\u2022 Cancer<br \/>\n\u2022 Throat infections (pharyngitis)<br \/>\n\u2022 Laryngeal Cancer<br \/>\n\u2022 Nasopharyngeal Cancer<br \/>\n\u2022 Mouth and Throat Cancer<br \/>\n\u2022 Paranasal Sinus Cancer<br \/>\n\u2022 Salivary Gland Cancer<br \/>\n\u2022 Bacterial Nasal Infections<br \/>\n\u2022 Deviated Septum<br \/>\n\u2022 Nasal Polyps<br \/>\n\u2022 Objects in the Nose<br \/>\n\u2022 Perforations of the Septum<br \/>\n\u2022 Rhinitis<br \/>\n\u2022 Sinusitis<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Developmental Abnormalities of the Outer Ear<br \/>\n\u2022 Ear Blockages<br \/>\n\u2022 Ear Tumors<br \/>\n\u2022 External Otitis (Swimmer\\&#8217;s Ear)<br \/>\n\u2022 Malignant External Otitis<br \/>\n\u2022 Perichondritis<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Central Auditory Processing Disorder<br \/>\n\u2022 Kids Airway<br \/>\n\u2022 Kids Hearing (Hearing Loss)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (Sleep &amp; Snoring)<br \/>\n\u2022 Unintelligible Speech<\/p>\n<p>ENT Treatment are monitored by an otolaryngologist.
