By David Miller


The ENT or ear, nose and throat doctors are specialists that provide medical as well as surgical care. The head and neck surgery is, in fact, the oldest specialty in the US or America. The ear, nose and throat diseases can affect everyone. The cases are also so many, meaning these doctors are one of the busiest professionals. The main problems that can drive people to see the best Otolaryngologists NJ can offer include ear infections, nasal congestions and hearing problems. Some of the common conditions treated by these doctors are as follows.

The first condition that these doctors treat is problems with the airway. Typically, breathing difficulties or difficulties range from mild to life-threatening. A person may have a slight breathing problem like stridor or a severe obstruction. So many underlying problems may cause these problems. The ENT doctor thus assesses the patients and provides the appropriate medication.

The United States has so many cases of ENT cancers. Approximately 55,000 people become affected by cancer every year. Out of the 55,000, 13,000 are preventable while the rest are not. This means that there are high death rates caused by ENT cancer. Hence, the physicians must work extra hard to prevent these cases early enough. This will reduce the death rates in the US.

The third condition is called chronic sinusitis. This is a condition that usually involves severe inflammation as well as swelling of all the nasal passages. Also, the condition is associated with mucus build-up and breathing problems through the nose. This condition can be related to polyps growth within ones nose, deviated septum or infection. It can be so disturbing and painful as one lacks enough breath.

When a child is developing in the womb, the cleft palate, as well as the cleft lip, may fail to grow well. Therefore, the baby is born with a lip or mouth that is split. Usually, these clefts vary in their size. Some are large while others are small. Some may bring about small issues while others make the person unable to speak, eat or breathe well.

Another critical condition happens when the nasal cavity becomes divided. This is caused by a deviation in the septum. Thus, the septum moves away from the midrib. People with this condition have problems with breathing and can also cause severe sinusitis. Nasal injuries can cause it but some people are born with the problem.

Another condition is excessive drooping of the eyelids of a person. Usually, when people age naturally, the eyelids start sagging. However, some people have this problem yet they are still young. It is usually caused by other conditions like diabetes mellitus, stroke or tumors that may affect the nerves or cause muscle reactions.

The seventh condition is called GERD, which is gastroesophageal reflux disease in full. This is a condition whereby the stomach acids, as well as some other contents from the digestive tract, go to the esophagus. People suffering from GERD may have a weak sphincter, a ring that protects the stomach contents from reaching the esophagus.
