In-Office Procedures

In-Office Procedures

In-Office Procedures in ENT care address a variety of common problems such as earwax impaction, nasal obstruction, throat discomfort, or minor sinus issues. These procedures—like ear cleaning, nasal endoscopy, or allergy testing—are minimally invasive and done under local anesthesia, offering quick diagnosis and relief without the need for hospital visits.

When to see a doctor

• Persistent earwax blockage
• Nasal obstruction (e.g., deviated septum or polyps)
• Recurrent nosebleeds (may need cauterization)
• Vocal cord issues needing endoscopic evaluation or injection

How to prevent?

Prevention includes maintaining good nasal and ear hygiene, managing allergies effectively, staying hydrated, and avoiding exposure to irritants like smoke or strong chemicals. Early consultation with an ENT specialist at the first sign of discomfort can also help prevent minor issues from becoming serious.
