In conclusion, technological advances have had a big effect on the field of ENT surgery, leading to better results, fewer problems, and better care for patients. As technology keeps getting better, it’s likely that ENT surgery will come up with even more new and interesting ideas.

What are allergies?

When your immune system reacts to something that is usually safe, this is called an allergy. Allergens are things like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and some foods that can cause allergic reactions. When your immune system comes in contact with an allergen, it releases histamines, which can cause a number of symptoms, such as:

• Sneezing
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Skin rash or hives
• Swelling in the face, throat, or tongue
• Difficulty breathing or wheezing

Allergies and your ENT health

If you have allergic rhinitis, allergies can have a big effect on your ears, nose, and throat health (hay fever). This happens when your immune system reacts to allergens in the air, like pollen or dust mites, making your nasal passages swell up. This inflammation can cause things like:

• Sneezing
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Postnasal drip
• Itchy nose, eyes, or throat

Allergic rhinitis can also make you more likely to get other ENT problems, like:

• Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, which can cause pain and pressure in the face, headaches, and stuffy nose.
• Otitis media is inflammation of the middle ear, which can cause pain, pressure, and fluid buildup in the ear.
• Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils that can cause a sore throat, trouble swallowing, fever, and pain in the back of the throat.

Managing your allergies

If you have allergies, you can do a number of things to control your symptoms and improve your ENT health. Here are some tips:

Identify your triggers:

Keep a record of your symptoms and try to figure out what is causing them. This can help you stay away from allergens as much as possible.

Keep your home clean:

Dust mites, pet dander, and other allergens will be less likely to be in the air if you clean your home often. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter and wash sheets and blankets in hot water.

Use medications:

Antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays are just a few of the over-the-counter medicines that can help relieve allergy symptoms. But before taking any new medicine, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Consider immunotherapy:

Immunotherapy, also called allergy shots, can help your immune system stop reacting to certain allergens, which will make your symptoms go away over time. People with severe allergies or who don’t do well with other treatments are often told to try this treatment.
