What Does an Otolaryngologist (ENT Doctor) Do?

Nose, Neck and Head

Our nostrils are used for both inhaling and smelling diverse smells in our environment. The following nasal disorders are managed by otolaryngologists:

  • allergies
  • sinusitis [5], postnasal drip, and nosebleeds

Otolaryngologists can assist with diseases affecting the head and neck in addition to those affecting the ears, nose, and throat. These may consist of:

  • face injuries or deformities
  • infections of the head or neck
  • tumors in the head or neck
  • reconstructive or cosmetic surgery [6]
  • thyroid disorders
  • birthmark neck masses
  • rebuilding without a flap
