Your ear, nose, and throat doctor will evaluate your medical history and symptoms and perform a thorough physical examination. Depending on your symptoms, further diagnostic tests may be recommended. This may include a nasoendoscopy to view your nasal passages and sinuses.
Once diagnosed, the ENT specialist will discuss a custom treatment plan for your specific condition. You are encouraged to ask any questions about your symptoms or treatment options.
Yes, many insurance plans in Singapore, as well as MediSave, can cover ENT consultations, diagnostic tests, and procedures, particularly when medically necessary. For precise information on your specific coverage or utilising your insurance or MediSave, we recommend consulting your insurance provider directly or contacting our team for assistance.
Persistent ear pain, frequent sore throats, blocked nose, dizziness, or hearing difficulties may indicate that you need to see an ENT specialist. Recurrent sinus infections, balance problems, or symptoms that don’t improve with basic care are also signs to seek specialist evaluation. Consulting an ENT early ensures accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
If you suffer from ongoing sinus problems or allergies, an ENT doctor can determine whether the cause is chronic sinusitis, nasal structural issues or allergic reactions. They provide targeted treatments ranging from medication to minor procedures or surgery. Getting specialist care helps prevent complications and offers long-term relief.
An ENT specialist will usually conduct a combination of hearing tests, ear examinations and sometimes imaging scans to diagnose the cause of hearing loss. Depending on the results, treatment may involve medication, ear cleaning, hearing aids or surgical options. Early intervention can preserve hearing and greatly improve your quality of life.
Children should see an ENT doctor if they experience frequent ear infections, persistent snoring, enlarged tonsils or breathing difficulties. Other concerns include speech delays, hearing issues or blocked noses that affect daily life. An ENT specialist can provide safe and effective treatment to support healthy growth and development.
Depending on your symptoms, an ENT specialist may recommend tests such as hearing assessments, nasal endoscopy or allergy testing. In some cases, imaging scans like CT or MRI are performed for a deeper evaluation. These diagnostic tools help identify the root cause of your condition and guide the right treatment.
Before your appointment, it helps to prepare a list of your symptoms, medical history, and any medications you’re currently taking. Noting when your symptoms began and how frequently they occur also provides useful context. This preparation enables the ENT specialist to make a more precise diagnosis and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
Snoring is not funny. It is not merely a social problem, although you may have heard stories about spouses using snoring as grounds for divorce! Depending on the severity, snoring may also lead to serious medical problems, such as upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) and (worst of all) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Read MoreSnoring and sleep disorders are problems that most people associate with adults. However, these problems also afflict many children. People do not simply start snoring at age thirty – the problem usually begins many years beforehand, and develops and worsens as time passes.
