Know the signs that it’s time to visit an ear, nose and throat doctor.
While you may turn to your regular doctor if you are dealing with minor issues such as an earache or a sore throat, there are certain conditions and diseases that require the specialized treatment and care that only our Washington, DC, ENT doctor Dr. William Bond, Jr. can offer. Wondering whether it might be time to see an ENT doctor? It might be if….
You notice changes in your hearing
Yes, our ENT doctor can test for hearing loss here at his Washington DC practice and also provide you with hearing aids and implants to help improve hearing. It’s important that you see an otolaryngologist as soon as possible if you notice changes in your hearing. If you find yourself having to turn the volume up in order to hear the TV or radio, if you have trouble hearing people on the phone, or if you find yourself having trouble hearing people in loud environments then you could very well have some degree of hearing loss.
You are dealing with persistent sinus problems
While most of us will deal with sinus pain and pressure from an acute infection at some point during our lifetime, if you notice sinus pain that lasts weeks or months, you could be dealing with chronic sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis can be a bit more challenging to treat, but our ENT doctor will be able to offer stronger medications and even specialized procedures in order to open up the blocked sinuses and improve your symptoms. If you’re having trouble getting sinus pain under control, call us.
You experience severe or chronic sore throat
Most of us will deal with a sore throat at some point. While a sore throat is often from an infection that will go away on its own if you are dealing with a sore throat that’s so severe that you can’t swallow then you absolutely need to consult your otolaryngologist right away. Recurring or chronic sore throats could be a sign of a more serious issue such as gastroesophageal reflux disease. It’s important to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist to find out what’s going on.
If you are experiencing any issues that are affecting the health and/or function of your ears, nose, or throat here in Washington, DC, it’s important that you have a qualified ENT doctor that you can turn to for care. Call our office today at (202) 726-7770 to schedule an appointment.
