If you’ve had the symptoms of sinusitis for an extended period of time, a few weeks, or prone to sinusitis, it is time to visit an Ears, Nose & Throat Doctor.

Persistent ear infections
Ear pain and infection is painful for both children and adults. If the infections keep occurring, there could be an underlying issue that should be treated by a specialist.
Chronic Sore Throat
While a sore throat may be a symptom of a cold or flu, if it persists for a prolong period of time, it is time to visit an ENT. Whether you can’s seem to get rid of a sore throat or your symptoms are severe, there may be an underlying cause. An ENT can treat the ailment and possibly reduce the risk of recurrence.
Ringing In The Ears
Ringing in the ears is known as tinnitus. For many people struggling with tinnitus, they hear sounds when there isn’t an external source. It can start out as temporary and slowly get worse, until it negatively impacts everyday life. There are many treatments available to treat tinnitus.
