Is it time to schedule an appointment with an ear, nose and throat doctor?
While common cold-induced sniffles or chest congestion may have you simply turning to your routine doctor for a checkup, it’s also important to recognize when your ear, nose or throat problems may warrant treatment from a specialist like our Washington DC, ENT doctor Dr. William Bond, Jr. Wondering whether you should turn to an ENT doctor for care? You may want to if,
You’re dealing with recurring sinus infections
While a simple sinus infection probably isn’t enough to warrant a trip to our ENT doctor’s office here in Washington DC, you may want to come in for an evaluation if you are dealing with severe or persistent sinus infection symptoms that last more than 12 weeks. Chronic sinusitis can cause serious pain in the face, nose and upper teeth, and may require more aggressive treatment from a qualified ENT specialist.
You suspect that you might have allergies
If you are dealing with nasal congestion, facial pain and pressure, persistent cough and sinus infections then allergies could be to blame. Luckily, our ENT doctor can easily test, diagnose and treat your allergies. By determining what triggers your allergy symptoms we can easily give you the answers and care you need to alleviate symptoms in the future.
You’ve noticed hearing loss or changes in your hearing
Are you noticing changes in your hearing such as hearing loss or muffled hearing? While an ear infection could be the cause, it’s important to determine the root cause of your hearing loss to prevent it from getting worse. If you’ve been experiencing changes in hearing for 1-2 weeks, it’s important to get an evaluated from an ENT specialist.
You are experiencing ringing in the ears
Most people will experience ringing in the ears at some point (you may have experienced this after leaving a loud concert); however, if you experience this problem regularly you could be dealing with a condition known as tinnitus. It can also be a sign of hearing issues or an infection, so it’s a good idea to turn to an ENT doctor who can figure out the cause and provide you with an effective solution to get rid of this annoying problem.
If you are dealing with recurring sinus infections, persistent allergy symptoms or hearing problems, our Washington DC, ENT doctor will be able to provide you with the specialized treatment you need. Call our office today at (202) 726-7770.
