Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on ENT Allergies
How do I know if my symptoms are caused by allergies or another ENT condition?
Allergy symptoms often include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy nose or eyes and post-nasal drip. However, these symptoms can overlap with sinus infections or structural ENT issues. A specialist assessment helps determine whether allergies are the underlying cause or if another ENT condition is contributing to your symptoms.
Are ENT allergies a long-term condition?
Some ENT allergies are seasonal, while others may persist throughout the year. Although allergies cannot always be completely cured, proper diagnosis and ongoing management can significantly reduce symptoms and improve both daily comfort and quality of life.
How long does it take to see improvement after starting treatment?
Some patients experience symptom relief within days or weeks after starting medication, while others may notice gradual improvement over several months. Treatment plans are reviewed and adjusted based on how the body responds.
Do ENT allergies affect adults and children differently?
While symptoms may be similar, children may experience additional effects such as sleep disruption or recurrent ear infections. Early assessment and treatment can help minimise long-term impact and support healthy development.
