What is troubling you?
Patients do not arrive with a diagnosis; they arrive with a sentence. "My nose is blocked." "My partner says I stop breathing." "The room spins when I turn over in bed." This page starts from those sentences. If the phrase on the left sounds like yours, the page on the right explains what causes it and how it is assessed.
Breathing and the nose
The look of the nose
Sleep and snoring
Ear, hearing and balance
Throat, voice and neck
Children
If none of these fit
Ear, nose and throat covers more ground than this page. Pain, sores or lumps in the head and neck, loss of smell or taste, mouth complaints, jaw joint pain and other sleep-related problems all fall within the specialty. You are welcome to call the clinic.
The following do not wait: hearing loss developing over hours in one ear, a nosebleed that will not stop, breathlessness, inability to swallow, or a rapidly growing neck swelling with fever. In those cases go to the nearest emergency department rather than waiting for an appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Two pages match my symptom. Which one should I read?
Both, if you like; the pages link to each other. A blocked nose, for instance, can involve both a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates, and the two often occur together.
Can I find my diagnosis on these pages?
No. The pages explain the possible causes of a symptom and how they are told apart. Which one applies to you is established by examination, endoscopy and, where needed, tests.
