Dr. med. otolaryngologist consultation

MD PhD otolaryngologist consultation

Dr. med. otolaryngologist is a highly qualified specialist whose competence extends beyond standard diagnostics. This degree demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of the specialty and the ability to interpret it scientifically, which allows you to analyze complex clinical cases based on the principles of evidence-based medicine.

The specialist provides diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, head and neck diseases for both adults and children, based on the latest scientific knowledge.

In contrast to the general visit, in the Dr. med. consultation, the doctor has developed an in-depth understanding of evidence-based medicine and has gone into the scientific aspects of the pathogenesis of diseases. This is particularly important for:

in cases of chronic and recurrent diseases;
if previous treatment did not produce the desired results;
to pinpoint the cause of the symptoms using a science-based diagnostic algorithm.

It is recommended that you contact your doctor’s otolaryngologist if you notice:

Nasal problems: prolonged nasal congestion, chronic runny nose, impaired sense of smell, sensation of pressure in the area of the face, breathing mainly through the mouth, snoring, episodes of breath retention at night, nasal formations, nosebleeds.
Ear complaints: pain, itching in the ears, discharge from the ears, pressure, stuffiness, throbbing sensation, impaired hearing, tinnitus, formations in the ear area.
Symptoms of neck and throat: neck pain, difficulty swallowing, voice changes, hoarseness of the voice, “ball feeling” in the neck, frequent angina, episodes of acute tonsolitis, formation of corks in the palate tonsils, formations in the area of the mouth and throat.
Children: constant breathing through the mouth, nasal congestion, constant discharge from the nose, impaired hearing, impaired language development, severe nasal congestion during colds.

Timely referral to Dr. med. otolaryngologist allows more accurate diagnosis of more complex or chronic diseases and selection of optimal treatment tactics.
